Describe the new feature you propose to be implemented

Currently, only soccer data are included. Add more sports like NBA, NFL and NHL.

Describe your proposed solution

Check current Python libraries for data sources:

I'd like to contribute to add the NFL feature. (especially before the 2024 season starts)

Hi @evanmolinelli,

Please check the data branch. Start with the soccer.py file and try to create something similar for NFL data. Can you find historical and fixtures data that they are public and constantly updated?

For basic historical data and easy browsing, Pro-Football-Reference is a great starting point and constantly updated. Will also look up other possible resources.

nfl-data-py or nflscraPy may be better options to avoid overwhelming Pro-Football-Reference's servers with excessive requests.
