Whose comment section wins?
Pick any two fanbases and compare what their comment sections say, stat for stat.
Who is happier
Fan Score counts positive comments per 1,000, so a loud fanbase cannot buy its way up the board. Positive share tells the same story as a percentage of everything said.
Fan Score
Positive comments per 1,000 (higher wins)
Positive comments per 1,000 (higher wins)
Positive share
Share of all comments that are positive
Share of all comments that are positive
Who is harsher
Negativity, toxicity and explicit language, every one of them per 1,000 comments so the two sides stay comparable whatever their volume.
Negativity
Negative comments per 1,000 (lower wins)
Negative comments per 1,000 (lower wins)
Toxicity
Harm and identity-based abuse per 1,000 (lower wins)

Explicit language

Identity-based abuse, tag by tag
Tag applications per 1,000 comments
Miami left, Virginia Tech right. Tag applications per 1,000 comments, on the same scale across every row. Reported as rates only: this block never picks a winner.
What they talk about
Three topic groups where neither direction is better, just louder. These rows describe a comment section instead of scoring it.
Betting talk
Sports-betting comments per 1,000

Week by week, side by side

“We want to triumph of course but we need to keep it close. Get Fletch 18 carries into 11 man boxes. Show our toughness and physicality.”
“What does playing frosh have to do with being physical at the LOS? Give Fletch and Big Body Brown the rock! They are physical. Physicality is all that matter under Mario.”
“Make sure he is loyal to the correct player who is the better player. He screwed up many years sticking with a QB who should have been 2nd string”
“He talking about osu, gerogia and bama. Those teams cheat without getting caught. That why they always wjn the big game by paying off the refs and get illegal players too.”
