They don't just analyze those sports on a purely stastistical basis though, they know the ins and outs of the sports. In both types of football, you can't just watch where the ball is, you are watching where everybody else is, how the midfielder are controlling the flow of the game, how good their crosses are, etc. In AF(american Football) when defensive strategies, what audibles, what formations, etc. Basketball has it to. If you break down these sports they are just touchdowns, but if you break down boxing it is just one guy hitting another guy.
