The Washington Redskins have won seven games in two years. Quarterback Robert Griffin III, once destined to be the franchise savior, has struggled with injuries and poor play. As the losses pile up, it’s safe to assume the team’s fans are increasingly growing detached and dejected. Things have gotten so bad in the Beltway that Redskins fans have even given up on proper grammar and spelling.



Grammarly, an automated proofreading company, can use algorithms to check writing for more than 400 types of spelling, grammar and punctuation errors. Armed with this, the Count did the one thing that made the most sense: Make Grammarly rank each NFL fan base on its writing skills. To do so, they reviewed 150 reader comments that were at least 50 words long from the news section of each NFL team website (12,728 total words, on average, per team). The Redskins finished dead last with 16.5 mistakes per 100 words—roughly 30% worse than New Orleans Saints fans, the NFL’s second most typo-prone fan base.
