It's false when it comes to sports fans. I find Edmonton sports fans extremely abrasive and when it comes to the Flames/Oilers and Stamps/Eskimos rivalries. Edmontonians loath the Calgary teams much more than Calgarians loath the Edmonton teams. There's no getting around it the Edmonton sports fans are the most arrogant in the country as they all still pine about great 80's teams like it was yesterday. I see people in this city wear Oilers gear and never get grief but if you wear Stampeders or Flames gear in Edmonton you will get slagged.

Spending much time in Edmonton, and with Edmontonians; I can only agree exactly.
