[Developers] Any good sources of license-compatible data that need importing into Freebase?

[Shawn Simister]

I'd really like to see a crawler for keeping track of the relationships 
between professional athletes and the teams that they play for. The 
information is readily available from a wide range of sources but 
changes periodically throughout the year depending on which sport you're 
following. I think that updating these relationships by hand would be 
rather tedious task for a human but can easily done by a screen-scraping 
crawler. Just having the NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL and PGA would provide a lot 
of opportunity for mashups.
