How to Survive a Split House in Sports

1. Surviving a house that has fans of rival sports teams is a struggle. The first step is to make sure somebody plays the role of the neutral third party.
2. Have more than one television and place them in separate rooms. This allows separation during the game and avoids fights over which game to watch.
3. Prepare for the day the two rivalries face off. It will be a tough day, because one team is going to lose. This means at least one member of the house will be upset. Make sure you have something that can soothe the pain. It also might be a good idea to keep the opposing parties separate.
4. Play both ends of the spectrum, especially if your fans are kids. Make sure both parties know you are backing their team to some extent.
