Sports Reference, LLC is a company which operates several sports-related websites including Baseball-Reference.com, Pro-Football-Reference.com, Basketball Reference, and Hockey Reference.[1]
Description
The site also includes sections on college football, college basketball and the Olympics.[2] The sites attempt a comprehensive approach to sports data. For example, Baseball-Reference.com contains more than 100,000 box scores and Pro-Football-Reference.com contains data on every scoring play in the National Football League since 1941.[1]
The company, which is based in Pennsylvania, was founded as Sports Reference in 2004 and was incorporated as Sports Reference LLC in 2007.[1][3]
Olympics
Sports Reference added a site for Olympic Games statistics and history in July 2008.[4][5] The company announced in December 2016 that the Olympics site will be shut down in the near future due to a change in its data licensing agreement.[6] Since that time, data for the 2016 Summer Olympics was added,[7] but the site has not been updated for the 2018 Winter Olympics.[8] The providers of the Olympic data are working with another publisher to create a new website.[6]
