The Detroit Lions top the NFL!

In fan grammar

Lions fans make an average of just 4.2 grammar, spelling or punctuation mistakes per 100 words in posts to the team website, reports Grammarly, an automated proofing company (via the Washington Post).

That's the fewest among the NFL's 32 fan bases, whose posts were sampled by Grammarly. The worst, Washington Redskins fans, make almost four times as many, with a rate of 16.5.

Lions fans also make less than half the NFL's overall rate of 9.9 mistakes (which is more than the 8.2 by MLB and NHL fans but fewer than NBA fans' 10.3 and NASCAR fans' 10.5).

about the team's awful management problems. I'll bet "F**k you, Snyder" registered as a spelling mistake.
