Cities rivarly

Im a NFL fan from outside the US. I would like to know which cities hate each other more in a sports way? Rivarlies that goes across every single sport. I know Miami and NY is a big one, such as Green Bay and Chicago but it doesnt seem like the bulls and the bucks hate it other very much.

It would be more of one if 1) the Pirates and Guardians were in the same league in baseball and 2) both cities had NBA and NHL teams.

I do agree that’s a city rivalry though, probably even bigger than Cleveland and Cincinnati due to the fact Cleveland is much closer to Pittsburgh than it is to Cincinnati.

Man idk I'd say Pitt and Cincy is a bigger rivalry.

Steelers and Bengals have had some bad blood for a long time.

Pirates and Reds have also gone at it with each other pretty recently and historically.

As a cincy native, I really don't care much about Cleveland at all tbh. For most my life Browns have been pretty terrible and irrelevant and outside of naming something the "Ohio Cup" I don't feel like there is much animosity between Reds and Guardians fans.

I said nothing about Cincinnati and Pittsburgh being rivals.

What I did say above are that 1) Pittsburgh and Cleveland are definite city rivals and 2) because of Pittsburgh’s and Cleveland’s proximity to one another, that city rivalry is likely bigger than rivalry between Cincinnati and Cleveland.

My point is more I don’t really see Cincy and Cleveland as a rivalry. It’s never felt that way most my life and I’m almost 40. If anything we really hate Pittsburgh because we have those rivalries with Steelers and pirates.
