Klecko73isGod Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 http://deadspin.com/study-nfl-fans-not-write-good-1700945003 Study: NFL Fans Not Write Good Which NFL team’s fans leave the dumbest comments online? In a shocking upset, the answer is something other than a 32-way tie. The Wall Street Journal took 150 reader comments, each at least 50 words long, from the comment sections on each NFL team’s official website. They then ran that corpus through an automated proofreading program to determine which team’s fans had the most spelling and grammar errors. The highly unscientific results: There don’t appear to be any obvious corollaries between bad grammar and things like geography or team success, but somehow, you look at this list and you nod. Yup. Seems right. Anyway, congratulations to the real winners: people who don’t comment on NFL teams’ official websites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dcat Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 Jets 4th smartest. Pats 4th dumbest. Nailed it! And if you need further evidence of Pats fans stupidity, just visit the $100,000 tampering thread on Patsfans,com, which is conclusive corroborating evidence of Pats fans idiocy.

JETSfaninNE Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 This study seems pretty dumb. Is it not including comments that are abbreviated short form text style? I'm sure you could make a correlation between youth and mispelling and older people that don't shorthand text. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gas2No99 Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 Doesn't auto-correct have to factored in as a material component in this stupid study? How many of you have had posts that make you look like a moron because auto-correct mess your original intent when typing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jet9 Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 In fairness, there's probably a lot of dumb bandwagon kids from across America that are Pats fans. Then again, Massachusetts is kind of a terrible place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
