In a very real sense this is the same flawed logic that leads people to make god claims. In evolution what most people do not realize is that MOST ATTEMPTS at life fail. It is a false perception that because of the amount of abundant life we see, most humans who don't understand evolution, think a magic hand had something to do with it.

No, for that one sperm that gets to the egg, there are millions more in that emission that end up doing nothing. For every child born, there are far more female eggs in her lifetime that end up in a period.

Well in pro sports too, there are only two teams, say in the NBA, or MLB, OR NFL OR NHL out of 30-32 teams, only one will become the winner.

What is appealing about the Cubs win even to non baseball fans, is the concept of the underdog. Religions in our species history get started for much the same reason. You have a person or a minority group of humans whom lack the same resources as the majority. Our species empathy for the minority, is really no different than the empathy a parent has for their kid if they are a baby, or why we respond to when bigger kids bully smaller kids.


There are far more many pro sports teams who DON'T win the Championship and only one in each sport, each year, that does. Cleveland was not "cursed" in it's loss anymore than the Cubs not having a Championship since 1908 was a "curse".

Sports superstitions are as stupid to me as when a player prays for a score as if a god should be concerned with rich jocks or their owners when people die in Africa and the middle east from famine and war.

I get it, sports is fun, and that is OK, but DONT BE FUCKING STUPID about why wins and losses happen. Math, skill, and some luck(not magic luck).

Heh, you're just mad that nothing you do could ever make the Redskins good  Naughty
