<h1>About The Sports Fan Misery Calculator</h1> | ||

<p id="intro"> | ||
Being a sports fan can be a painful experience, but some fan bases have | ||
it far worse than others. Are you one of them? You may think the teams | ||
you follow bring you misery, but what if you could know not only | ||
precisely how miserable they make you, but how many more (if any) | ||
championship/cup/trophy wins you likely see in your life? | ||
</p> | ||
<p>That's what this sets out to do, using the power of data!</p> | ||
|
||
<h3 class="question">"What years/seasons are included in this?"</h3> | ||
<hr class="sub_divider" /> | ||
<p class="answer"> | ||
Seasons are not added until they are finished. Some leagues are over 100 | ||
years old, while others have only been around a few years. For an exact | ||
date range for each league, please see the | ||
<a href="sources.html">sources page</a>. | ||
</p> | ||
|
||
<h3 class="question"> | ||
"I'm a fan of X team. How could you possibly measure the pain they bring | ||
me?" | ||
</h3> | ||
<hr class="sub_divider" /> | ||
<p class="answer"> | ||
It's actually quite simple. There are multiple approaches to quantifying | ||
all the emotions that go with being emotionally invested in a team. This | ||
site uses a combination of all three of these to achieve the most | ||
accurate results possible. These are: | ||
</p> | ||
<h4>The Calculus Method</h4> | ||
<p> | ||
The first is the classical approach known as the | ||
<a | ||
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schwarzschild_radius" | ||
target="_blank" | ||
>Schwarzschild Radius</a | ||
>, named after German astronomer Karl Schwarzschild. | ||
</p> | ||
<h4>The Arithmetic Method</h4> | ||
<p> | ||
The second most common approach is to take number of championships, | ||
cups, trophies, finals an individual's team has brought them in their | ||
lifetime, and divide by the number of years they have been alive. This | ||
gives an average number of years between brief moments when the fan can | ||
say to themselves "maybe life isn't so bad". | ||
</p> | ||
<h4>The Consultant PowerPoint Method</h4> | ||
<p> | ||
The third approach is with a simple flow chart. The boxes in this chart | ||
vary based on the league in question, but roughly come down to the same | ||
methods mathematically. Typically getting these results requires a | ||
multi-year multi-million dollar contract with McKinsey, but luckily a | ||
few free ones are available online. | ||
</p> | ||
<p> | ||
For example, the flow chart for the National Football League would be | ||
the following: | ||
</p> | ||
<img alt="flowchart" width="500" height="600" id="flowchart" /> | ||
|
||
<h3 class="question">"Will you be adding X league or Y competition?</h3> | ||

|
||
<h3 class="question">"What about historical teams?</h3> | ||
<hr class="sub_divider" /> | ||
<p class="answer"> | ||
All franchises that have moved cities or changed names at any point are | ||
under their current name. The records from their previous city and/or | ||
name are included unless the league itself decided otherwise, for | ||
example the OKC Thunder did not inherit the Seattle Super Sonics | ||
records. | ||
</p> | ||
<p> | ||
At this time there are no plans for add options for historical team | ||
names or defunct teams. In other words, yes the creator of this site is | ||
aware that there are still a few grumpy | ||

<h3 class="question"> | ||
"Where can I find the data used in this available?" | ||
</h3> | ||
<hr class="sub_divider" /> | ||
<p class="answer"> | ||
Most of the data for this was obtained from | ||
<a href="https://www.sports-reference.com/" target="_blank" | ||
>Sports-Reference.com</a | ||
> | ||
and | ||
<a | ||
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sports-related_curses" | ||
target="_blank" | ||
>Wikipedia</a | ||
>. The data files can be found in the github repository for this site in | ||
both | ||
<a | ||
href="https://github.com/Durhamster/sports_fan_misery/tree/main/src/data/csv" | ||
target="_blank" | ||
>csv</a | ||

and | ||
<a | ||

target="_blank" | ||
>json</a | ||
> | ||
formats. | ||
</p> | ||
<p> | ||
The repo for the web scraper used to obtain some of the data | ||
Sports-Reference.com can be found | ||

||
<h3 class="question"> | ||
"Why aren't any of the logos for the leagues or teams used here?" | ||
</h3> | ||
<hr class="sub_divider" /> | ||
<p class="answer"> | ||
To avoid any copyrights issues. Low-effort Microsoft Paint drawings of | ||
the logos were considered but that idea was shelved until more expensive | ||
legal counsel can be acquired. Sports leagues are serious about | ||
protecting their brands and the creator of this site is serious about | ||
not wanting to go to court over this. | ||
</p> | ||
<h3 class="question"> | ||
"I have a data set for a league not included in this site. Can I | ||
contribute it?" | ||
</h3> | ||
<hr class="sub_divider" /> | ||
<p class="answer"> | ||
Absolutely! Data collection and cleaning is a very time intensive | ||
process. Even partial data sets for any league would be helpful. If you | ||
have a set you would like to contribute please see the contact section | ||
below to reach out. | ||
