Phillies Fans Among Least 'Foul Mouthed' In MLB, Study Says

PHILADELPHIA — It's no secret that Philadelphia sports fans are incredibly passionate about their teams.

And with passion can come some uncouth activities, hurling curse words among them.

But, a new study revealed Philadelphia Phillies fans have some of the cleanest mouths in all baseball.

VegasInsider.com analyzed 1.2 million comments on the Subreddits of all 30 MLB teams to find out which fans are the most polite and, on the contrary, which fandoms are the most foul-mouthed.

At first, a sample of comments from the Subreddits of the MLB fandoms was collected (with a minimum of 15,000 comments per fandom) and subsequently it was analyzed what percent of their comments included swear words.

And the results showed Phils fans among the most wholesome.

Of the 30 teams fandoms looked at, Philadelphia Phillies fans had the second-lowest percentage of swear words in their comments, ranking them No. 29 out of 30 on the list for the most cursing.

Three percent of comments on Reddit by Phillies fans contained swear words, the website said.

The website looked at 52,068 comments by fans, and found swear words in 1,563 of them.

Phillies fans were just behind Cincinnati Reds fans in terms of the least swears used, with Reds fans using curses in 2.86 percent of their comments.

The most cursing fan base? That would be the Oakland Athletics, whose fans swear in 6.51 percent of comments, according to the website.
