Drake Curse Explained After Blue Jays Fans in Uproar for Rapper Jinxing Team

If you search on social media then you will see MLB fans complaining that the Drake curse has struck again. Free agent Shohei Ohtani was believed to be entertaining between signing with the Toronto Blue Jays and Los Angeles Dodgers.

There were rumors that Ohtani was flying to Toronto to meet with the Blue Jays, and this sent fans through the roof at the prospect. Even Drake got in on the excitement by sharing a photo of him wearing an Ohtani jersey.

The image caused many Blue Jays fans to wince with dismay. Their worst fears would be confirmed later when his trip to Toronto turned out to be a false alarm and Ohtani ended up signing a record 10-year, $700 million deal with the Dodgers. It was enough for X (formerly Twitter) users to write, “I’m never forgiving him for this” referring to Drake.

Another wrote, “Out of everything that happened yesterday, this was the moment where I lost all hope.” Another commented, “I knew at this point he was a dodger.” One user wrote, “Just bricking every fan base he touches.”

Drake Curse Explained

While Drake isn’t to blame for Ohtani going a different way, try telling that to Blue Jays fans. The Drake curse stretches back several years. For instance, Blue Jays player Vladimir Guerrero Jr. met Drake in 2019. Shortly after, the baseball player ended up going into a slump and performing poorly, according to Fan Duel Research.

The Drake curse extends to other sports as well. Famously, Drake backed the Alabama Crimson Tide in 2019 for the National Championship. The team ended up suffering one of their biggest defeats in recent history in a 44-16 loss to Clemson.

A year prior in 2018, Drake also backed fighter Connor McGregor only for the fighter to be pummeled in his UFC mixed martial arts bout against Khabib Nurmagomedov. You’ll find a similar story with the Golden State Warriors with Drake in their corner.

It seems that the origin of the curse stretches back to 2013 with the NBA’s Toronto Raptors. The team took a turn for the worse after Drake became their Global Ambassador. This helped popularize that Drake is a sporting curse, whether he actually is or not. Blue Jays fans certainly aren’t happy.

Trans men and lesbians would get IVF priority two years ahead of heterosexual couples under NHS plan – as campaigners slam proposals as  ‘grossly discriminatory’

Family campaigners have criticised as ‘grossly discriminatory’ plans to give trans men and lesbians access to NHS-funded IVF two years ahead of heterosexual couples. Under the controversial proposals, trans men – those born as women who now identify as men – will be automatically assumed to be unable to conceive, as will lesbians and single women. This means they will be immediately eligible for IVF on the NHS – costing an estimated £5,000 a cycle – if they meet the other criteria, such as a body mass index between 19 and 30, not smoking, being under 43 and not having a partner with a child from a previous relationship.
