Analytics, Are They Ruining Sports?

Update: 2022-09-08

Description

Fans argue that analytics are ruining sports. Professional teams say they aren’t. And sports bettors are finding that data may be their new secret weapon. Liberty and Scott investigate if tracking data in sports will eventually ruin the game. They’re going to the co-founder of the MIT Sports Lab Anette “Peko” Hosoi, and president of the New England Revolution Brian Bilello to find out what the future of sports analytics is and how anyone can use the data to get the upperhand in betting.

Data Nation is a production of the MIT Institute for Data, Systems, and Society and Voxtopica.
