My 2nd counselor in the EQ presidency years ago was a huge BYU fan.

We watched a couple games together and talked about them afterwards. I didn't refuse to invite him because we might lose. If you happen to have no Utah fan friends you can watch a game with, then that's one thing. If you're intentionally trying to avoid being friends with Utah fans or you have Utah fan friends but refuse to watch rivalry games with them, then you either need better Ute fan friends, or you need to toughen up.
