Twitter can bring out the evil in people, especially when it comes to sports. Many computer thugs feel comfortable talking recklessly behind the anonymity of the internet.
Proofpoint.com, a cyber security research company, recently did a study to determine the NFL’s most active fans on social media. Their research concluded that the Cowboys have the league’s most active fans, followed by the Packers and New England Patriots.
The study also looked at which fan based cursed the most (Steelers), are targeted the most (Cowboys) and the fan base who is the most polite (Panthers). Carolina tied with Denver in that category.
| Team | “Polite” Content Percentage |
|---|---|
| Carolina Panthers | 0.32% |
| Denver Broncos | 0.32% |
| Seattle Seahawks | 0.35% |
| Indianapolis Colts | 0.40% |
| Green Bay Packers | 0.45% |
I have a perfectly good explanation for this. I guess, Southern hospitality applies to the internet too and in terms of Denver…everyone is laid back out there from puffing on that ganja.
