From the earliest days of sporting competitions, players, teams, and fans have always enjoyed serious sporting rivalry. The sheer will needed to win, with all its sacrifices, is a huge driving force. As a result, over the years, a number of these duals and conflicts have become famous and are even well-known by those who don't follow sports. The desire to win, along with the prestige can drive both players and fans to extreme forms of behavior, as well as some ugly forms of cheating.

In all sports there can only be one winner. Everyone else is a runner up or a loser. No one wants to be that person. This means that there's a huge amount of pressure on athletes to win. And let's not forget the huge sponsorship deals and paydays you can expect by being the best of the best. There's just a small coterie of players fighting to be top dog. You'll see the same faces over and over. Because of this, the media likes to create stories revolving around the making of sports rivalries.
