Complete Bullshit
Only someone wallowing in envy or projectiung their own frustration could make up such crap.
I am a lifelong Red Sox fan and winning in 2004 took exactly nothing away from me ... except frustration and anxiety. And the only people who don't understand it are those who are so baffled by the sight of the Red Sox winning that they have to create a new myth to make it seem like the ridiculous "curse" has been turned inward and become a form of self-loathing.
Let me tell you how it actually is. My appreciation for the team and the game of baseball has never been more intense. But now I have a sense of confidence in my team when things are tight. And if things don't work out, I'm fine with it. I have a better sense of balance and perspective about it, since it's just a freaking game.
I'm sorry that you have a hard time understanding this. But most of us are coping just fine.
