The ending of Saturday’s Michigan-Michigan State college football game is what everyone was talking about over the weekend.

But the language used as the game was actually being played wasn’t the kind you repeat in mixed company.

Reddit user flashman posted in the Data Is Beautiful community a chart of “the number of times the fans of two football fans said ‘fuck’ or ‘shit’ on Reddit” during this incredible game, which was glorious if you were a Spartans fan and heartbreaking if you were rooting for the Wolverines. Michigan State won the game, 27-23, on the flukiest of last-second fluke plays.

But before getting to flashman’s breakdown, check out the crucial play to end of the game that made this contest such a hotbed for profanity:

Now, here’s flashman’s line graph using data from the live game thread (click to enlarge):

In the Data Is Beautiful post, flashman—who hails from Australia, which is why he was watching the game Sunday—explained how he approached the breakdown:

From the more than 14,000 comments in the live thread, flashman filtered out those using “fuck” and “shit” and then categorized them by the commenter’s flair: Michigan fan, Michigan State fan or other/neither. So what were the user’s initial conclusions?

“The chart reveals swear words seem to be used around surprising or controversial events (e.g. not regular touchdowns, but ones where something extraordinary happened). Closer inspection shows a split between surprise (‘holy shit’) and anger (‘fuck this’).”

Another interesting observation from the graph: Users with Michigan flair—that doesn’t mean all Michigan fans in the thread, just those identifying themselves as such by their flair—with tended to use profanity more than their Michigan State counterparts, whether it was to object to a bad play or celebrate a good one. This doesn’t seem to be limited to Reddit users, either. Michigan’s interim athletics director has publicly asked fans to stop attacking punter Blake O’Neill on social media with nasty comments.

For fun, we decided to compare this game’s swear-tistics with the film world’s current record-holder for most cursing in a movie, Martin Scorsese’s The Wolf of Wall Street. “Fuck” is uttered 506 times in that three-hour movie, which averages to about 2.81 times a minute.

During the game, which ran 3 hours, 46 minutes, user comments with the words “fuck” and “shit” in them on the live thread were popping up at a rate of about 140 times a minute when the botched happened.

Data Is Beautiful moderator Randy Olson pointed out, however, that as fun as it might be, it’s pretty hard to draw a direct correlation between all that cursing.

“That’s somewhat of an apples to oranges comparison, though—you’re comparing the average for an entire film (with only a few people talking) vs. a few minutes in a game thread (with hundreds/thousands of people commenting at once).”
