Sports Reference has decided to add rel="nofollow" attributes to all links in Pro-Football-Reference.com and Hockey-Reference.com sponsorship messages. This change will take effect on or just after March 15. Sponsors will not have to edit their sponsorship messages, as this code will be automatically added to the messages by our software.

If you are unfamiliar with "nofollow" links, please read Google's comments on the "nofollow" attribute. Those who no longer wish to sponsor pages on Pro-Football-Reference.com and/or Hockey-Reference.com following this change may request a prorated refund of your sponsorships. Please give us the page sponsorships you wish to end, your username, and e-mail address via our our customer service website.

Thank you for your long-time support of Sports Reference.

Sean Forman, President, Sports-Reference LLC
