Why does Rugby Union have such a problem with Rugby League?

Question

by looking at my username on here, you'll notice I'm a Rugby League person, I live in an area of Britian which has very strong League Roots (That being the North West) I don't really have a problem with Union, I won't watch the Union code through preference, but I don't have problem with Union supporters, but why do the Union supporters have such a problem with League supporters by saying we should watch the Union code and with the Union supporters pushing their rules on us? We don't and won't do that with Union, so why must the Union supporters give us League supporters such a hard time?

Answer 1

Most League fans treat Union with a similar lack of respect.  You're the odd one out (in a good way).

Answer 2

It goes both ways and its to do with players getting injured

Answer 3

its the same thing as the united athiest league hating the united athiest alliance these fueds are decades old perhaps one day the light of god will unite all gods children

Answer 4

Probably because most union fans are toffee nosed b******s, who, unfortunately, look at league as a lower class thing. B*llocks to them, league is much more exciting.

Answer 5

Its because they come from a different background of Rugby and they think their rules are better than yours and that you should follow them and if they push your buttons maybe youll back down and follow their rule instead. But we have to stand strong because Rugby League rules are much better!!!
