Even though it carries #soccer (Major League Soccer) in its name, the SFM is applicable to a much wider set of disciplines, ranging from American football (National Football League (NFL)), via basketball (National Basketball Association (NBA)) and baseball (Major League Baseball (MLB)), to racing (Formula 1), and many more.

If you want to have a bit of fun yourself, have a look at the redacted notebook, which will then be discussed throughout the live talk.
