...it meant your hated rivals in all other sports that you follow ALSO won titles?
For example, you're a Sixers fan. You get to see them win the NBA Championship BUT you also have to witness the Penguins, Mets and Cowboys go on to win titles immediately afterwards. Do you take that deal?

Absolutely.
What a blast that would be.
I'd get my title - then imagine the fun the next year would be of the Champs (who happen to be your hated rival) rolling into your barn - crowd is pumped and electric looking to knock the Champs off their pedestal - roof is about to blow off the joint - and the whole area is in a rabid frenzy.
The disdain towards Crosby, Dak, Jerry and Zeke and the Mets logo in this town is what makes the rivalry great - what would make it goose bump fantastic - is if they're rolling in here with the crown - the drama leading up to the games and aftermath can be just as fun as the actual game at times.
For instance - we circle 2 football dates on our calendar here - both times we play the Cowboys - the soap opera/drama/intrigue/storyline leading up to the game - 'Cowboys Week' is just as fun as the actual game at times as we have 2 giant Sports Radio stations here that get the town into a rabid frenzy in anticipation for the game with our hated rival.

I reject your premise outright. I'm a fan of the Boston teams, so I expect all of them to be in contention at all times.

I’d go along with this only if it was the Eagles winning. There’s no teams in other sports I dislike as much as the Cowboys and Redskins so all you other teams I dislike, enjoy your championships and you’re welcome.

Unquestionably yes.
Since I probably only truly dislike NHL rivals of the Leafs, the other sports winners wouldn't be a thing for me.

This depends, do I get to choose which rival wins? Because if the Vikings end up winning one than fuck that. I like my chances outright. However I have zero issue if the Bears or Lions win one. Hell, I'd even feel good for Lions fans. In terms of MLB? Meh, I'd do that for sure. The Mets, Phillies, Marlins, Nationals can all win World Series' I don't care. A lot of Braves fans were rooting against the Nationals because they're a rival while I found myself rooting for them because that doesn't bother me.

But have grown to hate the Vikings fan base more. So which one is it? Obviously I'd hate to see the Vikings win one as stated above so I guess that would be the case so my answer would clearly be no.
