A sports-related curse is a superstitious belief in the effective action of some power or evil, that is used to explain the failures or misfortunes of specific sports teams, players, or even cities. Teams, players, and cities often cite a "curse" for many negative things, such as their inability to win a sports championship, or unexpected injuries.
Famous quotes containing the word curses:
“I believe we shall come to care about people less and less.... The more people one knows the easier it becomes to replace them. It’s one of the curses of London.”
—E.M. (Edward Morgan)
