Here's something I heard on the radio. According to a website, I can't remember the name, The Washington Redskins have something to do with the November Presidential election. The thing is that when the Redskins play a home game the Sunday before election day and they win, the incumbent President wins re-election. If they lose, then a new President is elected. Apparently this has happened the last 17 Presidential elections. On that Sunday, I'll be cheering for the Redskins because I want Bush to win re-election in November.

nifty coincidence. Only sports fanatics are so obsessive, that they'd study stats until they find some stupid oddity like that.

Hey, maybe it could be a hidden public signal to some secret society that controls he government!

wait... no, it's just a stupid coincidence.

Even if the secret society can control the gov't I don't know how they could control a sports team. 😃
It is a cool coincidence though, but that's all it is.

Also, no New York Yankees team has ever won the World Series while a republican was in the white house.

Go Sox!

Hey man chill dawg slow your roll and relax a little bit. It was a pretty neat little thread and I totally expected to click on the Snopes link and have the theory destroyed, but what do you know, it holds true so far.
