Deletion of Ball–Fox rivalry

Comment: A rivalry does not necessarily have to begin at the professional level. While unconventional,  would still apply due to how extensive the coverage of these players' relationship already is. Considering the way these two players' relationship has been framed, I am more than certain there will be many articles on them, although that isn't relevant to this discussion. Either way, it is best to simply stick to the  rather than be swayed by your personal beliefs on this topic

Comment: this “rivalry” is a year old and doesn’t have the coverage needed to meet GNG. It has a long way to go before it’s Bird-Magic (and Bird-Magic doesn’t have an article).

Comment: This falls under the rarely-cited second element of the GNG: that articles are subject to  all the same.  In this particular instance,  applies, to wit: "Speculation and rumor, even from reliable sources, are not appropriate encyclopedic content." Claiming that a "rivalry" exists between two players who've ''never met professionally'' is the height of blather from bored sportswriters on deadline, and there won't be a single article on this alleged "rivalry" appearing two days after the game.

Comment: I don't believe time is a factor in meeting , but in the year the rivalry has existed, it has received extensive coverage by several reliable sources. Some of them might not call it an actual "rivalry" but they still talk about the relationship between the two players
