Non-American Dopers, do you have any "cursed" sports teams?

Umm, Randy Bass was white. I found this USA Today story about the Colonel curse.

Dangit…could’ve sworn Randy Bass was black. Must’ve been thinking of someone else. Still a great story.

Kevin Bass, perhaps?

I’ve noticed this from some Scots I know and also a friend who’s parents came from Columbia and Nicaragua.

It seems no matter how good the team is, after any loss they feel they’re cursed, even if there’s only one loss all year and they win the title. Must be cultural though, as they usually only think this after they’ve been exposed to the Goat curse, curse of the Bambino (Ty Cobb was better anyway :stuck_out_tongue: ) ot the black Sox scandal. I follow sports pretty closely and can’t think of any “curses” mentioned outside the US or Canada.

But if there are, please, please correct me. I love following this kind of stuff.

I curse Man %$#@ing United all the time.

:smiley:

No, I think the British public have more anticipation over whether he’ll make another Persil ad rather than on his unlikely success at Wimbledon.

Well they do have a top notch restaurant on the grounds. I’m sure that has an award or two…what?

YES! Thank you!

And the Colonel story makes a little more sense. Randy Bass: white American with beard. Col. Sanders: white American with beard.

Like I said…a little more sense. :slight_smile:
