My family are Chivistas, at least most are(one of my cousin is a degenerate so obviously supports America and one of my uncle is also unfortunately an Atlista), Chivas is in my blood, and when you are still a little kid you are taught three things, love Chivas, hate America(that institution is the scum of the earth) and hate Atlas even more.
Problem is, I don't hate Atlas. I want to hate them, I enjoy taking the piss out of my uncle when we beat them and the derbies are usually high paced, evenly matched and very entertaining but I can't seem to bring myself to hate them.
In fact part of me even wants them to win.
First of all last time they won anything important was in 1951. So right of the bat it's clear that they really aren't a real threat to anyone.(although what a sweet victory it must of been since it was against us, also fun fact, more than 50 years later senior Guadalajara fans still swear to this day that the title wining penalty was not a penalty. )
They play attractive football.
They have a great youth academy and have produced some of Mexico's greatest players, Borgetti, Guardado, Marquez, Oswaldo Sanchez(ironically a Chivas legend in his own right), Pardo ect.
They are a regional club, what I mean is you won't easily find many Atlas fans outside of Guadalajara, hell I only really know one and that's cause we are related. They really aren't that big of a club.
They have a great great fan base. Some of their fans are the scum of the earth but they are very loyal and that's admirable.
So really besides the sometimes shitty and destructive fans their isn't much to hate about them and are even a bit likable.
I wouldn't lose sleep if they win their second title this season. Their kinda just another team to me. Although I do enjoy beating them. I working on hating their guts though, I swear.
Anyways, anybody else have any rivals they don't hate, couldn't care less about or even maybe admire?
Any stories?
Also please no troll post like, 'lolz I don't give a shit about Liverpool, small club, Man U 4 eva, keep the hope ' although I guess them not wining anything in a while would make your non hate for them pretty valid.
