year. They are programs whose identities are tied to fans actually believing they are cursed. Honestly, the intrigue for Cleveland has been the fact that it is the suckiest, unluckiest sports town in the country. It would have been so funny to see Cleveland go to two championship games and lose in Game 7s. It would solidify what they are known for.
And then to make matters worse, after the Cavs won, it was clear that the world may as well let the Indians beat the Cubs. The Cleveland curse was broken, and it would be great to keep the Cubs curse going just as a storyline. Imagine how good it would be if, 50 years from now, the Cubs STILL hadn't broken the curse? But no, the Cubs had to win in dramatic fashion instead of losing, like they should have, on a blown call or something.
