the florida panthers choking and losing the stanley cup finals would close the same door to a trump presidency that the celtics' championship opened. we cannot allow the atrocities borne of the 2016 cubs world series victory to repeat themselves

Hmmm actually I think a classic title winner year (Celts-Oilers-Yankees??) would help avert the Cubs-Cavs mayhem

My friend shares your outlook. We simply have different frameworks for thinking about this

Fun fact, the Yanks haven't won a Series under a GOP president since 1958, but have won 9 Series under Dems since then. On the flip side, they got walked off vs Pitt before JFK's win in 1960, lost to the Reds before Carter won in 1976, and won in 2000 before Dubya won. So...hope for a Series loss?

As for the Celts, their last title was 2008, and the Phillies also won in 2008. So maybe that's the combo that Scranton Joe should be pushing for? And Phils over Yankees in the Series?

I, for one, think those 1907 and 1908 titles are *extremely* classic. Trump is totally the Cavs fault. Cubs clearly had nothing to do with it. No no no, the Cubs WS doesn't make me wince now with Trump and the Ricketts.

Mavs were bought by Miriam Adelson. Absolutely the trumpiest team.

I think a lot about how Chris Hayes’s fandom made Hilary lose

Cubs and Cavs winning that same year basically locked us into the darkest timeline

Thank you for recognizing the unarguable fact that the 2016 cubs victory caused the trump presidency. This has proven to be an unpopular opinion in Chicago, as you might imagine.

The implied argument here is that the Cleveland Indians/Guardians winning a world series would have prevented a Trump presidency??
