I am not a superstitious person. Never have been.
I once touched a replica Stanley Cup during a Montreal Canadiens playoff run and felt absolutely nothing… except for the wrath of a friend who was convinced I had just personally doomed the entire franchise.
He was very serious about it, too. Sure, our team didn’t go all the way that year. But I’m almost certain that had nothing to do with me.
Athletes, it turns out, are a lot worse.
From Hall of Famers who refused to change their socks to entire franchises convinced they were cursed by a goat, the sports world has produced some of the most elaborate, bizarre and oddly compelling superstitions in human history.
Whether any of it actually works is another question entirely.
