Rivalry is a fascinating word. It's one of those rare concepts that not only embodies certain ideas and linguistic qualities, but it's also capable of transcending mere semantics to take on a life of its own. None of us can ever agree exactly on what any given rivalry means because the meaning is different for each person, and the goal posts are constantly shifting.

So in many cases, rivalry ends up being defined by some personal subjective experience, like being passed over in the draft. Speaking of which, every team passed me over in the draft (at least once and several more so), so it would seem rather petty if I got my nose out of joint over that... Still, just for the sake of this task, there was one team, whom I told that I loved their city, yet they didn't have the time of day for me.

Which is all fine and dandy, as I'm used to being the underdog and having to fight my way to the top. So nothing new there... Who is that one team? Not gonna say, but the graphic below might provide a slight hint:
