    Since when was statistics ever limited to sports?


    Why did you use the word conventional in the title? To try and sound smart?

    Wrong forum by the way

    The title is referencing the increased use of advanced statistics in sports. This website is clearly parody of sites like basketball-reference.com, baseball-reference.com, and pro-football-reference.com (hence his use of the word "conventional"). He overestimated the awareness of such sites by the people here, apparently. Give him a break.

    It's specifically a parody of Sabermetrics, which is used in baseball.
