The Las Vegas Raiders and Kansas City Chiefs have had a rivalry going back nearly 60 years, a rivalry that even led to a major rule change in 1970, according to Sports Casting.
But the rivalry doesn’t just stick to the teams. The fanbases of both teams have been known to disagree, with one notable example being the time an at-the-time Oakland Raiders fan sued the Chiefs for assault after a fight in Arrowhead Stadium in 2011.
So, it comes as no surprise that Raiders fans came out on top in the list of haters for Swift and Kelce’s engagement.
