This is usualy because there are literaly hundreds of sports in the world, and again, hundreds of sports web-sites.

Every site, uses differnt display formates, and even worse, on one suite that displays different sports, each page is different.

For each different looking page, and sports type, you would need code, that can parse out the information.

Look at the likes of the google script. This is designed to parse one single page style, to obatin search results. Can you imagine the size of the oce used to parse out only 5 sports.
