Sometimes the strongest rivalries come from being more alike than fans want to admit.

@theblockspot We're late to the party, but this is our jam.
Army-Navy
Celtics-Lakers
El Clasico
... each especially unique for their own reasons (i.e., mix of the 10 ingredients to rivalry)

I owe my career to this game. I was in the stands, and as I was leaving, the students were chanting "Yankees suck!"

Wrong sport / season / level / state.

That behavior was fascinating, and it helped lead me to study @KnowRivalry.

Also a fantastic package of graphics and insightful articles to celebrate the #CFB rivalry bounty of the coming days! https://t.co/2GWe4DpgdM

@NathanPStrauss @SethMan31 Thankfully @KnowRivalry has this type of data for everybody to see! I love this whole debate about rivalries in MLS - check out the great data available thanks to @DrBDT @joebcobbs

[Know Rivalry @KnowRivalry]

Great to see our CFB fan survey data being used creatively in this way! Fun work!! Hoping to see more in the future...

[RedditCFB @RedditCFB]

A reader has mapped out all FBS teams by who their fans think their biggest rival is.

@MattDoyle76 @MLS Here's a table with the top rival for each MLS team based on 2k+ respondents.

To help with building your chart, I added columns with the logos and latitude/longitude for each team.

Enjoy!

This is what a rivalry looks like.

@KnowRivalry @MattBrownEP I can't believe I spent almost a week in Idaho (left this morning) and DIDN'T see this.

The best I got was this vintage poster.

Very thoughtful analysis of the superstar effect via @TheCOSport @MrDavidSkilling, which also applies to teams in our research... The Rivalry Trap: How Sports Fans Turn Legends into Adversaries https://t.co/LKxyTZh1d9

[Chris Creamer | SportsLogos.net @sportslogosnet]

MLB will have a "Rivalry Week" in 2025, during which all fifteen series matchups will feature some form of rivalry -- geographical (NY/NY, LA/LA etc), historical (Bos/Atl), or the last two left without a lab partner (Sea/SD)

We couldn't agree more @nrarmour: Indiana Fever vs. Chicago Sky rivalry is gift that will keep on giving for WNBA https://t.co/a0BGjoSWvP

[Know Rivalry @KnowRivalry]

We're especially sorry to see this one go with realignment, and not just because it is our second most unbalanced (according the fans' survey data), but it was just so fun...

[Sellout Crowd @selloutcrowd_]

Who killed Bedlam football? The rivalry's blood is on many hands - and just like in “Murder on the Orient Express,” they all are guilty.

@BerryTramel presents the evidence for Sellout Crowd - thread below! 🧵 https://t.co/apMzNbjSjU

[Know Rivalry @KnowRivalry]

Fun to discuss the @NKUNorse vs. @WSURaiders rivalry w/ writer and @nkucob student @emmanuellehews2, who titled this appropriately a "Sibling Rivalry"-- lots of shared similarities between these schools and plenty of competitiveness.

[The Northerner @northernermedia]

A packed Truist arena witnessed the NKU Norse take on their local conference rival Wright State, as well as homecoming Sunday afternoon.

What do Penn State fans have to say about their rivalries? The 'Stuff Somers Says' podcast addresses that question and more about our research...

[Darian Somers @StuffSomersSays]

Why study rivalries? Well part of it, according to @KnowRivalry's Joe Cobbs, is to understand why sometimes a win just means more. https://t.co/Gn5ywZ2ABL
