I mean, this really shouldn’t be shocking to anyone. When your team has been historically bad over the last decade, you are more likely let out some F-Bombs. Regardless, this is still a very interesting way to look at things. Something that stood out to me was Eagles all the way down at 30. I have no issues with Philadelphia fans, but the fact that they are notoriously known for having “their moments,” it definitely caught my eye that a team in that big of a market apparently doesn’t have as big of a potty mouth as we thought (at least on Reddit).
Now, let’s dive into the actual words. (As a big J, have to limit the amount of times I curse)
F—k: 43.9%
S—t: 31.4%
Damn: 8.8%
Hell: 6.9%
D—k: 2.5%
B—h: 2.5%
Crap: 1.9%
A—e: 1.3%
Douche: 0.6%
Bastard: 0.3%
The report also listed out each team’s most used curse word, and the winner is…. The Indianapolis Colts, who say “douche” 76.6% of the time.

With the preseason officially underway, it’s time to start tallying things up… the dirty words will begin soon enough, if they haven’t already.
