CF Montréal/Impact fans don't hate the Alouettes and the CFL like TFC fans hate the Argos and the CFL. (TFC and Raptors fans can also hate on the Leafs.)
Animus between fans of different sports (and their teams) in the same city seems more acute in Toronto than in other cities.
At worst people in other cities are simply indifferent or passive about the other teams. Not openly hostile.
