Um, no it isn't.

As I clearly indicated, I don't judge pro and college rivalries the same way. College isn't in the same league, but it has a much more dominant impact on local areas and regions than almost any pro rivalry, especially a cross country one that consumes very few people.

Very few people live and die with the Boston/LA rivalry. As in, almost none. It has no political impact, no regional/geographical relevance, and in modern times, it has simply become a nice side story for an event that would be quite popular independent of the history.

I cannot believe you just typed that.

And I root for neither Boston nor LA.
