体育与政治混搭吗？对主流联盟体育的球迷基础和总统候选人的交叉分析（CS SI）---刘持诚

考虑到体育和政治的相互作用是非常复杂的，这个跨学科的领域在数据科学的研究中基本没有被触及。鉴于 NBA 和 NFL 等主要体育联盟存在着庞大的球迷群体，我们有必要了解体育迷与他们的政治偏好之间的隐性关系，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。利用 Twitter 丰富的用户数据，我们提出了一个新的度量标准---国会奉献度评分，以更准确地对候选人的偏好进行建模。利用拟议的指标，在体育层面、国家层面和球队层面对具有强烈政治倾向性的球迷进行精细分析。虽然有些研究结果与以前的研究和报告一致，但我们也为所有的研究结果提供了较新的见解和定量证据。

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

原文：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.
