By now all of us have seen, heard, or read about the utter destruction of New York City FC at the hand of the New York Red Bulls on Saturday. The club was trounced to the tune of 0-7, the worst loss in the club's brief history, and tied for the greatest margin of victory in MLS history. To lose like this is devastating in itself. To have such a loss at the hand of the team's rivals just pours an entire bottle of salt onto the wound.
Now I know what some will, in particular third party fans of MLS: THIS ISN'T A RIVALRY.
