体育和政治混合吗?大联盟体育与总统候选人球迷基础的交叉分析

Do Sports and Politics Mix? Cross-Analysis of Fan Bases of Major League Sports and Presidential Candidates

Shuaidong Pan, Faner Lin, Jiebo Luo

摘要:

考虑到体育和政治以非常复杂的方式相互作用,这个跨学科领域在数据科学研究中基本上没有涉及。鉴于NBA和NFL等主要体育联盟拥有庞大的球迷基础,了解体育迷与他们的政治偏好之间的隐藏关系以及这些偏好如何影响他们在总统选举期间支持不同候选人的行为对我们来说非常重要。利用Twitter丰富的用户数据,我们提出了一个新的指标,国会奉献分数,更准确地模拟候选人的偏好。使用所提出的指标,细粒度的分析是在体育层面,国家层面和团队层面的球迷与强大的政治联系。虽然一些研究结果符合以前的研究和报告,但我们也为所有研究结果提供了新的见解和定量证据。

英文摘要:

Considering the fact that sports and politics interact in a very complex way, this interdisciplinary area remains largely untouched in data science research. Given the fact that huge fan bases exist for the major sports leagues such as NBA and NFL, it would be important for us to understand the hidden relationship between sports fans and their political preferences, and how do these preferences affect their behaviors in supporting different candidates during the presidential election. Taking advantage of the rich user data from Twitter, we propose a new metric, Congressional Devotedness Score, to model candidate preferences more accurately. Using the proposed metric, a fine-grained analysis is conducted at sport-level, state-level, and team-level for fans with strong political affiliation. While some of the findings conform to previous studies and reports, we also offer newer insights and quantitative evidences for all the findings.
