Fighting the Chicago Cubs’ Goat Curse with Love

0 CommentsMonday • June 20, 2011 • by michelle

Last week, I told you about some snarky t-shirts being worn by the Chicago Cubs’ baseball team in the hopes of making it to the World Series for the first time since 1945 — this in order to combat The Curse of the Billy Goat. As I noted then, I just don’t think that’s the appropriate way to go about this.

Now it looks like there’s at least one person out there who agrees with me on how best to conquer The Curse. Here’s the *new* shirt, which has a decisively pro-goat stance:

Yes! Now you’re speaking goat!

Let me explain. Goats are kind, sensitive beings — until you annoy them. Don’t believe me? OK then, I’ll pull out the attorney buried deep inside me to present Exhibits A-C:

• Exhibit A: Goat Gets Last Laugh on Fox News Reporter
• Exhibit B: Goats 2, Audio Cables 0
• Exhibit C: Former Congressman Anthony Weiner’s Goat-Related Injury (no tweeting was involved, so this is SFW (“safe for work”) as they say)

What do you think about the Billy Goat Curse? Do you believe?
