Study identifies college football fanbases with highest profanity usage

A research analysis conducted by Covers examined Reddit posts to rank college football fanbases by profanity frequency, vulgar emoji usage, and negative sentiment. Mississippi State placed first in the rankings with a perfect 10.00 Vulgarity Score, finishing slightly ahead of Arkansas. Louisville, Wyoming, and Jacksonville State rounded out the top five. The study found that the Big 12 conference had the highest overall average for profanity, narrowly surpassing the SEC. Conversely, Sacramento State emerged as the least vulgar fanbase, followed by Louisiana, Clemson, Syracuse, and Georgia State. While the data provides a perspective on fan behavior on social media platforms, the findings reflect online commentary rather than in-stadium activity.
