Introducing itscalledsoccer ⚽ 🎉

This is the first release of itscalledsoccer, a wrapper around the same
API that powers the American Soccer Analysis app. It enables R users to
programmatically retrieve advanced analytics for their favorite players
and teams, with coverage of the following competitions:

  - Major League Soccer
  - National Women's Soccer League
  - USL Championship
  - USL League One
  - MLS NEXT Pro
  - North American Soccer League (defunct)

We at ASA, have been working on this for the better part of 6 months and
are super excited to release it. We hope it makes interacting with our
data easier and allows people to build new and informative things.

Documentation 📚

We know our documentation is a bit sparse at the moment, but we plan on
building it up and adding more examples over time. In the meantime, the
API documentation should be a sufficient stop gap for specific
functions.

Happy soccering!
