In all honesty though, I think the rivalry creates the hatred much more than the people who end up getting hated do.
With the benefit of hindsight, the reasons for why 9ers fans and Hawks fans convinced themselves their rivals were also despicable people are insane.
9ers fans convinced themselves that Carroll was a despicable person because of the way he chewed gum and Wilson was despicable because he believed some crazy stuff. Hawks fans convinced themselves Kaepernick was despicable person because he had a shoe collection and Harbaugh was a despicable person because he flailed around like Wonder Woman on the sideline.
All to say that if we're fortunate enough to really get a true rivalry over a few years again, I have no doubt we'll all come up with wildly creative reasons to convince ourselves that we don't just hate our rival because their our rival, but also because of their "major character flaws" and "immorality." :lol: :2thumbs:
Fixed it Fer ya.
The rest I totally agree with. It is all about what the media can do to create a rivalry even if there is none. And EXPN will do so.
