    Default The drake curse...

    Sports fans can most definitely be superstitious, and I have been known to try and repeat a routine that saw my team win previously to try and recreate the good mojo that worked the last time...BUT the truth is we as fans don't have anything to do with the outcome of the game on the ice/court/field etc...even if we want to think we do. All that said, some new information as come to light in the form of "THE DRAKE CURSE". I am sure we have all heard of Drake, the very popular Canadian Rap artist, and sports nut. Now I'm not sure if he really likes sports per say, or just really likes being noticed at all these different sporting events. He's come a long way from the privileged Toronto kid who starred in Degrassi the next generation TV show to the now ultra popular man about town, in just about every town he visits. Yes, he is very successful and very well known all over the world, but he is starting to get notoriety for something other than his music...THE DRAKE CURSE is gaining momentum, and its not just a Toronto thing. Sure, he has been court side for some truly heartbreaking playoff losses for the Raptors, but as seen recently in a USA Today article (so you know its legit) he was draped in an Irish flag showing support for Connor McGregor, before he was spanked by Khabib Nurmagomedov in his UFC bout, sporting an Alabama Crimson Tide hoody before the National title game, and then Clemson Tigers slapped them around. This curse is now crossing the ocean and catching on in Europe too! Recently the Italian professional soccer league, Serie A team AS Roma has told all of its players that they are forbidden from taking pictures with Drake, while they are trying to qualify for the Champion League...and there are many more examples.

    What are your thoughts?

    People will believe what they want. There's no "Drake curse", just people who look for reasons to blame loses on something.

    He sure doesn't seem to curse the Raptors during the regular season. They won a lot of games with him at courtside.

    Let's get Drake a Leafs jersey and make sure he's at the next two games! We'll send him with a black cat and set a ladder up at the Leafs dressing room door that they have to walk under.
    Without me, it's only "aweso".

    Looks like Drake will be in attendance for Game 1 - Raptors vs. 76ers...although Raps can't blame a curse for their game 1 issues...OR CAN THEY???
