Cubs Curse is Lifted
If you have not heard, the Chicago Cubs have taken Chicago,
and the United States by storm. The team defeated the Cleveland Indians in
extra innings, coming back from a 1-3 deficit in the series. Not only was this
impressive, but the team’s goat curse has been lifted. With this outstanding
win, the city of Chicago has been on another level. It’s bars and stores have
been pleased with the revenue, and the Cubs brand has been booming.
When a professional sports team wins a championship, many
people look to buy the gear released with ‘World Champions’, or some saying such
as that, to show off their team. A team and city can make a lot of money off of
the team’s success. Although it takes a whole season, perfect mesh between
players, and good management, when a team can get their city to rally behind
them, it really can boost the local economy. Everyone will want to go with
their friends to go to the bars, people will travel, thus having free time to
shop, and much more. The Cubs winning the World Series is much more than just a
championship, letting Chicago thrive and rejoyce.
Would you be more inclined to go out to watch a professional
sports championship if ‘your team’ was in it? Why or why not?
Do you feel the urge to buy championship clothing if your
team wins? Do you think your local economy would benefit? Why or why not?
