EDIT: I made a mistake when mentioning the Michigan 'State' Wolverines. I am fully aware that Michigan Wolverines and Michigan State Spartans are two different university teams. I don't know what happened there, must have been a slip of the tongue. (Gig 'em Aggies.) Also, I'm fully aware that Seattle hasn't officially started playing so there are still technically 31 NHL teams. This WAS NOT a mistake - I'm pre-prepping this for future, as I guarantee some whiny bitch will say '"there's 32 teams" in a couple of seasons time. So I'm sticking with 32. Deal with it. Let me know in the comments below what you think the nastiest rivalry in sports is!

[@dethblade4836]

Ninh Ly LSU vs Alabama

[@th3b4shl0r]

Definitely LSU vs. Alabama and the Pittsburgh Steelers against all other teams.

[@NinhLyUK]

I assumed Alabama vs Auburn would be top of the bill?

[@NinhLyUK]

Steelers vs Ravens for sure.

As a proud Buckeye, I’m glad you caught that mistake. Also glad that OSU v. Xichigan made the video. Well made as always.

[@NinhLyUK]

True dat!

[@Kylora2112]

I live in New England...I was at a Rush concert outside of Boston and someone had the AUDACITY to wear a Yankees windbreaker. The crowd instantly devolved into a YANKEES SUCK!!! chant until Geddy Lee came out on stage with the local "Beat LA" shirt that Celtics fans were wearing [the Celtics won the NBA Championship later that night against the Lakers] and then it became a FUCK LA!!! chant. But it seems every NHL fan hates the Vancouver Canucks more than any other team.

As an American I was kinda made that no football rivalries made the list, but the top three were either part of actual military conflict or basically gang wars disguised as sporting events so I guess I understand

I believe that in those top 3, there was a specific reason they don't like each other. And using sport was a way of getting one up over the other party.

[@doncarloancelotti2256]

Even if this wasn't about military or social tension, at most only ONE NFL rivalry will make it in top 10 since nobody outside the US follows NFL. Might as well as use MLB or NBA teams.

[@jackiethejoker506]

thats the thing, football (nfl not college) mainly consists of trash talk between the fans. We dont really blow up each others stadiums or anything luckily. But there is absolutely a lot of rivalries throughout the league that are worth looking at and some with a lot of history. For example, Washington (my team) and the Cowboys. College though can be a bit dangerous for sure especially once you get down South where football is the most important thing in life.

#1 nastiest rivalry: when you play your brother's team in little league soccer when you were 9

[@NinhLyUK]

Probably not in the same league as the ones in the video.

[@BizarreWords]

I would like to add a couple entries to the list: 1-Here in México we have the Monterey derby between Tigres and Rayados. Everytime they play they make a chaos out of the city, it looks as if protesters were revolting or something! 2-El Salvador and Honduras once went to war over a football (Soccer) Match! -amonst many other factors but it was there. 3-PAOK Salonika and Aris Salonika in Greece also gets quite brutal; in both Soccer and Basketball.

[@NinhLyUK]

Yes, I heard that El Salvador and Honduras really didn't like each other.

[@quantumfootball]

I thought that all the fires and violence I saw after Ohio State-Michigan games back when I lived in Columbus was bad until I saw the Boca Juniors-River Plate part of the video.

[@jimomorph3452]

India vs Pakistan at the 1999 World Cup in England. My Dad took me and my brother to Old Trafford for the match. I wore a Pakistan shirt and my brother wore an India shirt. The Pakistan and India fans kept stopping me and my brother to say hello and even take pictures with us as they couldn't get over the fact two English kids were there supporting opposite teams. That was such a good day.

As a Canadian, I'm so proud pretty much every team in hockey is in a heated rivalry with teeth flying through the air. And yes Boston is very known for their grinding rough house physical play coupled with taunting making them the most hated team in the NHL.

It's one of the things that makes hockey so fun to watch!

[@fuzz489]

What about Red Star and Partizan?

[@NinhLyUK]

Yes

[@stankusdankus]

Army vs Navy is pretty heated but it’s not super violent. Mostly because fans are alumni or relatives to alumni so they know that stabbing the others fans isn’t right. Mostly just verbal.

[@NinhLyUK]

Yeah, I heard about Army vs Navy. It's cool watching the annual football games though. Those Navy helmets with the anchor on them are totally lit!

Honourable mention: Collingwood Magpies vs Carlton Blues

[@NinhLyUK]

Meh, there are nastier rivalries in the world.

[@MegaJustGeorge]

From what I've learned, whenever the Blues and the Maggies meet on the footy grounds, there will be fireworks - that includes Princes Park, Victoria Park (The Old Girl), Waverly, the Docklands and especially on the One Day in September at the MCG! In the interest of full disclosure, I live in Tennessee - and I got interested in the footy in 1983, thanks to HSV-7 Melbourne, and ESPN; in my eyes, Louie the Lip and the Flying Doormat are Legends!

Canadian Football League - Toronto Argonauts vs. Hamilton Tiger Cats. 3-4 games a year, dating back to 1873.

[@NinhLyUK]

As an Argonauts fan, I feel great shame that the city of Toronto doesn't care about the Argonauts.

[@MegaJustGeorge]

I can understand this rivalry, Steven - the two cities are within reach of each other, and are battling for bragging rights for the whole of Southern Ontario. Back when the Argos had Condredge Holloway splitting time at QB with Joe Barnes, this most certainly made for great football.

[@candicecutthroat]

"Most of the NHL" haha gotta love Hockey ❤ I'm all for a rivalry but when it's life or death that's not rugby/futbol/hockey/football anymore, it's crossed over into hunting.

[@MegaJustGeorge]

@@mohuuul2524 Yes, my friend, I remember those wars involving the Hawks and the Bombers - whether it was at Princes Park, Windy Hill Stadium, Waverly, the Docklands and especially on the One Day in September at the MCG, there would be fireworks, and most certainly a war!

[@Dalton1294]

The Michigan Ohio St. rivalry sometimes called the game, can be the deciding factor for the Big Ten east division and has history. An example of this happened in 1969 when the Wolverines coached by Bo Schembechler upset the Buckeyes coached by Woody Hayes and this started a period know as the 10 year war

[@NinhLyUK]

Yes, that is correct.

[@kenmograd2009]

Hayes was also famous for stating that if his car ran out of gas while in “That State Up North” (as he referred to Michigan), he would push it all the way to the first gas station in Ohio so as not give the state any of his money.

I think you may have missed out on Red Star Belgrade vs Patizan Belgrade, often called "one of Europe's most bitter rivalries"

[@NinhLyUK]

You watched the Copa90 documentary too, eh?

[@RM-mv5yz]

@@NinhLyUK Actually no, I hosted a foreign exchange student who was a Bosnian- Serb, and she told me about it (she also supported Red Star, and was very intense when the game came up)

does Roma v Lazio in Rome counts (in soccer/football)??? heard they can go wild too..... I also not sure which soccer/football teams but I know certain team rivalry in Athens, Greece can go wild too

[@NinhLyUK]

Yes, those two don't like each other for sure!

You should do a video on the most bizarre incidents in American Football

[@NinhLyUK]

Not a bad idea, thanks.

[@drewmyself893]

There's a key difference between nasty rivalries and best rivalries. Sporting rivalries still need to maintain the sport. If the players aren't even playing and just trying to injure each other, that's not sport (or at least not the one being played) or if the fans are literally endangering lives you've taken the sport out of it. The best rivalries, to paraphrase a quote from Anchorman, the sides pure straight hate each other, but they never stop respecting one another.

[@NinhLyUK]

Yes precisely. And this video covers the former not the latter. There's no respect when any of the teams face off against each other. 'Best rivalries' is a different story altogether.

[@btf_flotsam478]

Hopefully the last three calm down to a nice, safe, semi-friendly rivalry similar to that of the number 4 entry.

[@dylantaylor3139]

The Michigan State and University of Michigan games every year are always insane

[@NinhLyUK]

Yeah for sure.

[@Rysander1]

Kind of mentioned in the NHL video but I would put Chicago-St Louis up there in the rivalries too.

[@NinhLyUK]

I believe there's worse rivalries in the NHL, for sure.

[@miguelangelmoraleshernande8988]

Almost all the derbies in Brazil end up in riots and shootings. The brazilian football federation even considered to ban matches between teams of the same city. In Mexico we are not that hardcore but games that often end in riots are Burros blancos vs Pumas CU (American foorball) and Irapuato vs León or Irapuato vs Querétaro (soccer). Could it be more, but those are the most violent games that I can remember right now.

[@NinhLyUK]

I don't know that for sure, so I'll take your word for it. Wow, that's violent!

[@miguelangelmoraleshernande8988]

Hey, that's an interesting idea!

[@TerminalSports45]

Duke and North Carolina Basketball is pretty high up there as well, it's very much like Galatasaray V. Fenerbache where you have two very successful powerhouses who are actually very very close to one another as far as distance is concerned. As for college football, I would make the argument for Alabama and Auburn being among the nastiest, especially in recent years. The NFL's got Baltimore and Pittsburgh, a rivalry that goes back to when the Ravens were the original Cleveland Browns, the entire NFC East against each other, and throw in Chicago and Green Bay for good measure.

[@NinhLyUK]

Yeah, I'll agree in some part with those.

[@billhorst-kotter5184]

NY Giants vs. Philidelphia Eagles have had a nasty rivialery for a long time with the Eagles' fans being the worst.

[@NinhLyUK]

Meh, I'd argue that Dallas Philadelphia is worse. But still tame compared to what's on the list.

[@MegaJustGeorge]

It is my understanding, Bill, that the Eagle faithful believe that when someone puts a man in a Giant uniform, that man thinks he knows everything. God Bless Chuck Bednarik!

[@Razorblade1812]

I also consider the Serbia and Albania rivalry to be a nasty one, especially with that drone incident during a Euro 2016 qualifier in 2014, in where a brawl between the teams ensued causing the game to be abandoned.

[@jerryspringer2171]

Ninh a video on oldest sports rivalries, please. And by the way how many sports do you follow?? Since you know a lot of sports well, I feel to ask you this question ( My guess 20 at least ) And Ninh by the way England won the third test match in Ashes. It was a great match

[@NinhLyUK]

Ummm, sure. I follow a lot of them, way too many to count. And yes, I glanced at the England game - didn't watch it in any great detail. Looked good from what I could see.

Chuck in Collingwood and basically every other AFL team and you got yourself a disgusting rivalry. Collingwood and Carlton is probably the roughest.

[@NinhLyUK]

Yeah, I think out of all of them, Collingwood vs Carlton is the fiercest.

[@galinor7]

Makes England vs Cymru in rugby seem quite friendly by comparison!

[@thinhnonyt]

Here to add that the Seattle Kraken and the Canucks could probably end up being a rivalry due to location.

[@kennycai8695]

Barcelona vs Real Madrid also has a political edge to this rivalry, since Barcelona is based in the very independent-minded Catalonia. Real Madrid is often seen as the government's team, being based in Madrid itself, compounded with the success and publicity of Los Blancos (the nickname of Real Madrid due to their distinct white jerseys). Therefore, this rivalry becomes very intense due to both teams staking their own regional (and national for the Catalans) pride on the line.

[@NinhLyUK]

Yes, that's true. I was actually in Barcelona two weeks ago ... those guys are still rioting!

[@galoglaich3281]

Doesn't really occur in ireland as such except maybe bohs and shamrock rovers.The most notable rivalries are dublin v kerry in gaelic football and munster v leinster in rugby ,but they are mostly lighthearted rivalries,there is a country v city bite to both rivalries ,although the rugby rivalry also has a class tinge to it and its more small cities than country v big city.

From someone originally from the state of Michigan, Michigan State's team is the Spartans, not the Wolverines. The Wolverines represent the University of Michigan, hence they are known simply as the Michigan Wolverines.

Yes, it was an oversight on my part.

[@glockadile7949]

I have definitely experienced more hate than that stuff. My highschool has a rivalry with the private school and it’s field lacrosse so I get a lot of hate being the goon that takes other guys out of play for the season it’s gotten so bad that we couldn’t finish our game because they all tried to fight me and my team had my back

More hate than being tear-gassed and stabbed in the street? And then beaten to death by police? Doubtful.
