NEW: How politics, race, culture and economics are shaping which kids abandon tackle football -- and which keep risking its toll. With Emily Giambalvo washingtonpost.com/sports/interac…

This is a must-read for anyone with a stake in American tackle football -- like, millions of people. Thorough national reporting, interesting statistics, lots of voices. Thought-provoking, to say the least. Great work, Dave Sheinin Emily Giambalvo

"The dangerous jobs are going to go to the most desperate people. This country is like that. It’s sad but true." -- what a powerhouse of a Dave Sheinin and Emily Giambalvo story, on race, politics, culture, $$$, and youth football washingtonpost.com/sports/interac…

England’s iconic soccer leagues are powered by Black talent. But when it comes to coaching, former players say they face the same discrimination they did on the pitch. wapo.st/43jtzlt

There is a very exclusive club of print media that went 34-for-34, not missing a session at either U.S. Olympic Trials or here in Paris. Pretty sure it’s just four: me, Pat Forde, Dave Sheinin and Greg Eggert. A lot of swimming!

Noah Lyles’s narrow win in 100 meters would have been a tie in swimming. Fascinating breakdown by Dave Sheinin (and Rick Maese and Adam Kilgore too apparently) washingtonpost.com/sports/olympic…

What happens when analytics and optimization effectively "solve" a sport, and how can leagues push back to fix their aesthetics? MLB already knows. The NBA is finding out. The NFL and NHL? Stay tuned. Here's part 1 of our 3-part series, "Beautyball": washingtonpost.com/sports/2025/03…

Part 2 of our project, "Beautyball," finds Warriors coach Steve Kerr wondering, like many of us, whether today's NBA is in the same place MLB was several years ago: optimized to the point where the league needs to take steps to fix its aesthetics washingtonpost.com/sports/2025/03…

I’m really enjoying this project about the impact of analytics on the aesthetics of sports. You can see a course correction in baseball lately. Very well done series by Dave Sheinin

This week, Dave Sheinin’s BeautyBall project dropped and it asks the important question: has analytics stripped sports of its pleasing aesthetic? (You’d be surprised by who admits that it has) wapo.st/41I29X7

Fans are increasingly using analytics while watching sports. 📊 Director of the CMU Sports Analytics Center Ron Yurko spoke with The Washington Post about how CMU's innovative approaches in data science and machine learning are shaping the future of sports. washingtonpost.com/sports/2025/03…

What a terrific piece by Dave Sheinin.bsky.social on the impact of analytics on the NBA, and MLB, and how the leagues are trying to keep the games interesting. No paywall here: wapo.st/4hcN5FJ

Our project Beautyball, on the collision of analytics and aesthetics in sports, looks great in the #printedition, with a killer illustration from Davide Bonazzi washingtonpost.com/sports

Awesome article about the practical uses of analytics and the changing of modern sports gameplay. Featuring a who's who of smart people in sports: Ron Yurko Brian Burke Michael Lopez

Thought this front-page story by Dave Sheinin raises some good, difficult questions about how analytics have optimized sports teams’ performance — with more home runs, more three-pointers, etc — but turned off fans.

Great idea for a story, and not surprisingly great execution of the idea by Dave Sheinin

Last night, the Celtics tied an NBA record with 63 3PAs. In the first quarter, 22 (!) of their 24 FGAs were 3's. Is this the product the NBA wants? Is it what the fans want? We explored this issue and more in our project, Beautyball washingtonpost.com/sports/2025/03…

Dave Sheinin on his "Beautyball" series. "(Analytics) helped revolutionize sports. But now the all-consuming influence of those efforts is blamed for harming the aesthetics of our games, forcing league(s) to make a course correction before it’s too late" youtu.be/DNonIq5pSzU?si…
