  "account": "Bayern Munich fans have been found to be quite rambunctious online, according to a recent analysis by Reddit users. The German sports betting portal Wettfreunde studied over 130,000 comments from Bundesliga subreddits between August 2025 and August 2026, ranking fan behavior in terms of vulgarity, positivity, negativity, and politeness. Surprisingly, Bayern Munich fans came in second place for profanity, with nearly 10 percent of their comments containing swear words in either English or German. However, the real concern was the high level of negativity, with over 54 percent of Bayern fans' comments being negative. Only Werder Bremen fans were worse in this regard, with just 0.8 percent of their comments being negative. The analysis also highlighted the challenging period Bayern fans have faced recently, including injuries to key players, early exits from the Champions League, and the departure of some important players. Despite these setbacks, Bayern fans' support in stadiums has been impressive. The team's recent success in the Champions League, particularly their victory over Real Madrid, was a highlight. However, fans need to maintain a positive mindset and push for the impossible, just as Bayern did in those matches.",
