A sports rivalry is intense competition between athletic teams or athletes, affecting participants,[ 1] supporters all to varying degrees.
Fans separated at an Old Firm derby in Glasgow , Scotland The intensity of the rivalry can range anywhere from a light hearted banter to serious violence. A rivalry that gets out of control can lead to fighting , hooliganism , rioting and some instances with career-ending and even fatal consequences. In the "Football War ", along with other factors, it was suggested to have been the tipping point in leading to military conflicts.
One of the first known sports rivalries occurred in the Roman Empire between the Blues and the Greens, and the minor teams of the Reds and Whites, each of which were chariot racing clubs competing at the Hippodrome in Constantinople . The rivalry took on political tones as well, coming close to deposing the Roman Emperor Justinian in 532 CE in a riot and the suppression of the riot killed tens of thousands of people.
Owners have been known to encourage rivalries as they tend to improve game attendance and television ratings for rivalry matches. Clubs can reduce fan aggression surrounding rivalry games by acknowledging rather than downplaying the conflict[ 2] [ 3]
Games between two rivals that are based in areas of close geographical proximity are often known as a local derby , or simply just a derby ( DAR -beeDUR -beeassociation football [ 4] [ 5]
The term ‘Derby’ or local derby originated from a game of football between all saints and St Peter’s in the city of Derby. Due to the close proximity of the two churches and hence the football played, this is where the term ‘local derby’ or “derby” comes from. The term "derby" possibly originated from the Derby , a horse race in England, founded by the 12th Earl of Derby in 1780. The 19th Earl has since claimed the Derby name was originally only given to one other sporting event: fixtures between St Helens at one end of the family's Knowsley estate and Wigan at the other.[ 6]
The other theory as to the name's origin involves Shrovetide football , an early, unofficiated version of both association and rugby football. It was first played in the town of Derby prior to Medieval times. From as early as the 12th century it was known to have been played in Ashbourne . It was a chaotic and exuberant affair that involved the whole town, often resulting in fatalities. The goals were at Nuns Mill in the north and the Gallows Balk in the south of the town, and much of the action took place in the River Derwent or the Markeaton Brook . Nominally the players came from All Saints' and St Peter's parishes, but in practice the game was a free-for-all with as many as 1,000 players. A Frenchman who observed a match in 1829 wrote in horror, "if Englishmen call this play, it would be impossible to say what they call fighting". Shrovetide football is still an annual event in the town of Ashbourne.[ 7]
Since at least as early as 1840 'derby' has been used as a noun in English to denote any kind of sporting contest.[ 8] Clásicos in certain parts of the world and crosstown rivalries in the United States.
Rivalries do not always stem from the sharing of an area. Hostilities can occur for different reasons, such as in the case of El Clásico with tensions between fans with a background of political differences. Frequent meetings in important games between teams can also lead to unpleasantries.
