The NBA,MLB and NFL all have teams with decade old rivalries and newer rivalries such as the Ravens vs Steelers,which we in MD and the people in Pen state are all captivated by.Than you have the college rivalries which may be even bigger as college sports actually have their own fans who do not even watch much pro sports.Basket Ball and Football are huge from the children's league all the way up to the pro league.Those sports are not just popular on the biggest level.Soccer does not have that same following even in the children's league and most just play it because they can not play the other sports. |
We have decade old rivalries between teams, most often from cities near to each other. Or even more, you should know the rivalries between teams from the same city - the teams from Berlin for instance. And surely teams get supported from their local fans from the same city, the trains are full of fans coming to watch their team as they play in another city. If you americans can't support the teams from your city properly it's hardly my fault.
