Jinx You Owe Me a Coke or Nah

I'm going to try and keep this short but this topic has been bothering me on and off throughout the last few years, jinxes and superstitions.


One thing I will NEVER understand is how anyone can be a sports fan and not believe in them. There is absolutely nothing wrong with saying jinxes are real and superstitions work. What harm is there in believing in this?! I'm sorry you hate fun, but don't fuck shit up for others. You not wanting to have fun with something knowing there are people who truly believe in these things just pisses those people off. It's fine to have your opinion but to go out of your way to make sure people you know who are into jinxes and superstitions feel like an idiot for having fun is just rude. Keep that shit to yourself. I'm not going to make you feel like a fucktard if you're into something I think is stupid so why would you do that to someone else?! Your opinion is no better than anyone else's so stop acting like it. While I may not actually be a hardcore jinx believer, you can bet your ass I'm going to be pissed if someone is throwing a no hitter and you announce it to the world. Shut your whore mouth and let us have the moment. If not, you will be getting all of the blame.

I'm well aware that jinxes don't always work, ie me trying to jinx Lincecum's no hitter at Petco, but that shouldn't mean it's ok for you to ruin someone else's fun. Believing that if you speak about the no-no will cause it to end, connects us the team in some silly way. You know damn well that the guys in the dugout are abiding by the rules of the jinx and are keeping their mouths shut. If they're doing that it should only be fair that you do it to. I mean this has an affect on the players. Us, not so much. We don't get to mark down a personal record that will be in the history books forever. I mean sure, for the Padres, it'll get marked in the history books but our individual names won't be. You don't have a problem with the pitcher jumping over the chalk every inning or a batter using a teammates bat because that teammate had a hit streak with it so why do you have a problem with people keeping their mouths shut during a possible historic moment for someone??

With all that said, I leave you with this, respect the superstition and the jinx, have some fun and don't be an asshole.
