It's a real thing. I don't care if you believe me.
When you say it’s a real thing...what do you mean exactly? That embracing new statistics got them promotion? If that’s what you’re saying then I shall repeat....you are posting absolute nonsense.
 

American Football. The sport where they have a man that comes onto the pitch just to kick a ball then trots back off again.
When my brother moved over to Canada 30 odd years ago to fo his PhD he was a keen rugby player. A full back and a goal kicker. He was spotted by a talent scout for American football and invited to play for trials for some team or other.

When he found out that his role would be to do exactly that - walk on, kick a ball and walk off again, he flatly refused stating (in a very affected English accent) that he would really rather prefer to play a sport.

I do appreciate your staunch commitment to being uninformed and wrong about this though.

I guess he's not a fan of money either
 

Your ‘real thing’ is a Bleachereport....one in which the link doesn’t work.
It's probably geolocked. It's a real article though. I can search again for something else if you like, or you can just accept what I'm telling you.

Oh look:

Wasn't that fussed. He loved playing rugby, he loved what he was studying and where he was studying it. Our family values doing these things over acquiring cash.

Obviously we bitterly wish we could get the cash for doing the things we love though!

Uninformed?
Not at all. Just absolutely clear that statistics and x-deltas do not win football matches and get teams promoted. You can post as many jarg links as you like, it won’t change the fact that statistics don’t win football matches.

Yeah mate, uninformed.
