I don't know. I agree that the game scores, roster data, etc. are facts but at the same time work was performed at some point to compile that data so I assume there must be some legality around not simply copying it and reusing it. Of course I don't know for sure it's just a gut feeling. Wish I could find a definitive answer without having to pay legal consultation fees I can't afford.

From a legal point of view, duplication of facts is allowable according to Feist Publications v. Rural Telephone Service. Learned this in my IP law class. Duplication of original expression is forbidden. Stats, imo, fall into the "facts" category.
