These should point to articles on the rivalries (see articles such as North London derby, Superclasico, etc.) rather than to the article of the perceived rival of a club yet to play a game. Dancarney (talk) 11:20, 12 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Maybe so, but the articles would be deleted as WP:CRYSTAL since the team doesn't play yet. Technically, there is no rivalry right now, though NY and DC (and probably Dallas) are obvious. KV5(Talk • Phils) 11:22, 12 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I agree. I have previously removed these rivalry bits, but they were restored, so I thought I ought to put the matter up for discussion. Dancarney (talk) 11:28, 12 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think that, for the time being, I have a problem with the teams being listed in the navbox; I just don't want to see them become locked in there and have editors trying to create a rivalry that doesn't exist when the time comes. I mean, who knows? We might develop rivalries with Seattle and Toronto rather than Red Bull and United, though Toronto's probably just a pipe dream... I just want a reason to go there.

Including anything at all in a "Rivalries" section is surely in contravention of WP:CRYSTAL? The team hasn't played a single game, so how can any rivalries have developed? Dancarney (talk) 12:23, 12 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Shrug*. I'm indifferent to that point. I'd say it's inevitable, but who knows. There is no deadline. It'll get done eventually. First kick is only 11 months away. KV5(Talk • Phils) 15:35, 12 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I note that after a single meeting between Philadelphia and New York a rivalries section has been readded, which just links to the NY team's article. Dancarney (talk) 09:14, 30 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Well, those are fairly decent RS links. I guess that a rivalry in US sport can be something instantaneous, it just seems really wrong and sort-of fabricated, from a British perspective. Dancarney (talk) 11:50, 30 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Trust me, I fully agree with you. I would have deleted it again if I hadn't found those articles. I think that, in this case, it stems more from the rivalry between the cities than it does from the rivalry between the teams. KV5 (Talk • Phils) 11:52, 30 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
