Growing up, all of my friends were big Eagles fans. And they would taunt me about liking the 'Skins. Of course I had Super Bowls to point to, so I could shut them up pretty easily. But still, their attitude towards me has given me a deep-rooted hatred for the Eagles.
It's a little easier to hate a division rival though, so it's not quite the same as the Ravens situation. But still, I get the concept.

That is much worse. Us skin fans down here laugh when we hear, "beltway rivalry". They aren't our rivals. We don't care if they win or lose. They actually get happy when the skins lose.
My raven friends know i won't watch a skins game with them. Its just too annoying. Probably b/c the skins are so bad this year. However, i can hear them cheer when something bad happens to the skins. I can hear them from my room with my door closed, with my true skin fans by my side. It actually pisses me off. I think they think i am just joking.
but i digress. My point is, we aren't there rival so it isn't as bad as your situation. And you are vastly out numbered.
