体育迷在线社区迅速兴起，其中Reddit的r/PremierLeague成为全球最受欢迎足球联赛之一的粉丝聚集地。该社区推动英超在美国市场拓展，提升观赛人数并激发兴趣。然而，对其线上社群的理解仍不充分。为此，我们分析了2013至2022年间超过110万条r/PremierLeague的评论数据，深入研究其情感倾向、讨论主题与毒性水平，追踪长期趋势以描绘对话图景。社区快速扩张带来了更多元化的讨论，但也伴随着负面情绪与网络毒性的明显上升。此外，该子版块已成为用户表达对种族主义、新冠疫情及政治紧张局势等社会议题不满的场所。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Online communities for sports fans have surged in popularity, with Reddit's r/PremierLeague emerging as a focal point for fans of one of the globe's most celebrated sports leagues. This boom has helped the Premier League make significant inroads into the US market, increasing viewership and sparking greater interest in its matches. Despite the league's broad appeal, there's still a notable gap in understanding its online fan community. Therefore, we analyzed a substantial dataset of over 1.1 million comments posted from 2013-2022 on r/PremierLeague. Our study delves into the sentiment, topics, and toxicity of these discussions, tracking trends over time, aiming to map out the conversation landscape. The rapid expansion has brought more diverse discussions, but also a worrying rise in negative sentiment and toxicity. Additionally, the subreddit has become a venue for users to voice frustrations about broader societal issues like racism, the COVID-19 pandemic, and political tensions.
