It may very well be used in racist situations but does not, standing by itself, connote any kind of bigotry. Also I think you mean 'connotation' instead of 'acceptation' (I don't think the latter is a word) | |

| Oct 17, 2015 at 11:30 | comment | added | kos | @JoeDark I quite like "to antagonise", it seems pretty close to what I mean, do you want to add that as an answer? | |
| Oct 17, 2015 at 11:24 | comment | added | JHCL | I've posted an answer, but antagonise is much better in the football situation (where provocation is a likely motive). | |
| Oct 17, 2015 at 11:23 | comment | added | kos | @JHCL Yes I did (here to be precise), but none helped, since "to persecute" is not quite what I mean, although it's the closest I can get to express what I mean; both "to persecute" and its synonyms all seem to have a too heavy acceptation to describe what I'm really thinking; also the rivalry is the central topic, and I'd like this to stick out from the meaning somehow. | |
| Oct 17, 2015 at 11:16 | comment | added | Joe Dark | Rival football team supporters like to antagonise each other. | |
| Oct 17, 2015 at 11:13 | comment | added | JHCL | It would be helpful if you could tell us what options you've considered and rejected. For example, have you looked for synonyms of persecute? | |
