Statistics

Is it just me or are the American sports industry (and I do believe it is nigh on an industry) and it's viewers (this means you

) over-obsessed with figures and statistics? Save percentages, awards based on complex formulae (the Quarterback of the Year award or whatever it is called especially so). It just seems to over-complicate a good game. Football (ie. soccer) in Britain has nowhere near as many statistics and so on.

Any ideas why this might be?
