Locals and visitors
Rivalry is something intrinsic to human beings; reasons always exist or arise between two groups to detest or even harm each other. The sense of belonging to a place or ideology is so strong in certain cases that it is usually reflected in contempt for what comes from outside, whether from another location or another country . These types of attitudes tend to be the ones that sooner or later lead to serious fights that, in many cases, can end with the death of one or more people. For example, between the inhabitants of two different cities or regions, there is a clear aversion that leads them to fight in public spaces, insulting each other and in many cases physically attacking each other.
In the same way, the supporters of a soccer team , when their team plays in their stadium (plays at home) usually insult and in many cases attack those who come to cheer up the opposing team (visiting team). The most striking thing about this type of fights between soccer fans is that the teams that get along the worst are those that come from the same neighborhood, see Racing and Independiente, both from Avellaneda, or Gimnasia and Estudiantes de La Plata, from the city of La Silver.
This hatred, so common between citizens of different regions or ideologies, is fueled with jokes and mocking comments that promote this rivalry not to cease, but rather to be maintained and transmitted from generation to generation among the residents.
