About these results
This version searches Wikipedia's public search API for multiple athlete biographies, and also attempts a TheSportsDB player lookup. Wikipedia results are biographies, not official league roster records.
The Current and Retired filters use clues in public descriptions. Athletes without enough information are marked Status unverified and appear under All players. A missing or mislabeled player does not establish their actual career status. League matching is approximate and can omit players. The free sources cannot guarantee every active or retired athlete.
