Totally agree that rivalries are fun, thats a big part of what makes sports enjoyable, regardless of what sport one enjoys.
See...apparently I am really jaded. I completely expected to get flamed to high hell for my comments about Red Sox fans..granted I did have my disclaimer that not all fit the mold I was describing.
I am use to the type of person that just..wont even talk to you if you say ANYTHING negative about the team or anyone on it...unless of course..its someone that left the team for whatever reason. I really have nothing against the Sox anyways, I just get tired of the rabid fans I seem to be surrounded with around here.
True story, that there is a manager at my company that will directly tell someone they have less chance of being promoted if they support the Yankees in any way. I mean....I am sure he isnt serious at some level, as you should be fired if you really do things like that. But the fact he even says it in a serious manner (this isnt a joking around type of man, he is usually serious as a heart attack) just pisses me off. Basically he just doesnt want to hear any baseball talk unless its Boston.
I feel like a lot of people just have..unhealthy obsessions with them. lol. At least Patriot fans still watch games that the Pats are not part of....Monday Night Football..is MNF....doesnt matter who plays usually...ya watch and enjoy. Eliminate the Sox from the post season and no one even wants to think Baseball until next year.

Again, just my humble observations and of course not everyone is like this.
