I am happy to look it up if you would prefer not to go into it, but I feel like your perspective/voice on it would be hilarious, so dare I ask what the Curse of the Billy Goat is?
all right, this is Lore that belongs to the Chicago Cubs (*spits*) so details are fuzzy and I am too lazy to check wikipedia, but:
there was legitimately a billy goat, and there was legitimately a dude who owned that billy goat, and this happened in 194...5? 1945.
so a dude by the name of William Sianis (who also owned the Billy Goat Tavern) goes to a Cubs game (I think a World Series game?) with his pet goat. his goat is disruptive to other fans and at some point he's asked to leave. Sianis in a fit of pique yells, "Them Cubs, they ain't gonna win no more!"
and they don't.
they can't even make it to the World Series.
Sianis was A REAL DUDE. Sianis well and truly brought his pet goat to Wrigley and was asked to leave and said that line. there is no "alleged," it happened. Sianis legitimately tried to break the curse. his nephew tried to break the curse. nothing.
the Cubs would not EVEN GO TO another World Series until 2016. they clinched their first National League title since 1945 ON THE ANNIVERSARY OF BILL SIANIS'S DEATH.
and then they won the World Series that year.
in conclusion, the Curse of the Billy Goat:
real fucking curse, yo.
