ON TRIAL - Sports "Curses" - 10/13/04 02:58 PM
As the Red Sox from the bean-eating town of Boston lost to the New York Yankees last night in the first Game of the ALCS, an ever-present entity roams the consiousness of all Red Sox fans...the "Curse of the Bambino", and of course the "Billy Goat Curse" inflicting all those Cubs fans already getting ready for next season and/or drunk.
ON TRIAL here is....is there really a curse on two professional sports squads?
Me, I think its just a silly psychological deterrent built-up from many years of losing and disapointments and so on, combined with the self-pitty and folklore created by these fans.
A prime example why I think curses in sports are s*it is this....the so-called curse that plagued the New York Rangers of the NHL for many decades before they finally won the Stanley Cup in 1994.
Neverless sports fans, post your thoughts on the manner, and I'll post another ON TRIAL thread soon....concerning a certain "Empire"...
