Possibly english football, where you supported a smaller local team, and also the bigger premier league team, but then your smaller team makes it to the premier league ala Bournemouth.
But in that circumstance you probably always subconsciously rank them because there is always that possibility.
That is also both team's A grade playing against each other though, not a reserves vs an A grade, so its not quite the same still.

Bulls&%$. No-one is happy with their AFL teams' reserves sides screwing over any league. I don't know why anyone would draw that conclusion.
Plenty of people around telling the crows to "piss off to the ammos" - basically a NIMBY response.
Sorry Benny. You nearly had me until you played the "small club & premiership" card.
No one supports 2 clubs in the same league. Personally I find it hard to comprehend how anyone can really support 2 clubs of the same code.
North is my club....end of. I used to say I supported Carlton I the VFL but in reality it was little more than a passing interest. It didn't make me angry when they threw away a game and it didn't hurt when they lost. Looking out for their scores in the paper doesn't make you a supporter.
I have two sporting passions in my life. North Adelaide and Burnley FC. I couldn't give a rats arse about any other Aussie Rules club or any other Soccer club and hence I will never have a dilemma of having 2 teams in the same comp. Anyone who says they support Man U and Bournemouth is talking crap. Your heart can only be in one place.
Port was possibly the only exception before the reserves.
