Washington Redskins Predict Election Results?

October 11, 2004 in Sports with 6 Comments

There’s an urban legend that says:

The Washington Redskins have proved to be a time-tested election predictor. In the previous 15 elections, if the Washington Redskins have lost their last home game prior to the election, the incumbent party has lost the White House. When they have won, the incumbent has stayed in power.

Believe it or not, according to Snopes.com, the urban legend debunking website, this is actually true!

This election year, that deciding game takes place on Sun, Oct 31 vs. Green Bay. Go Redskins!!!

    Yo bro. I was just looking at your links and noticed you had way fm on there. I got a better station for you better than air one as well. It’s wnaz. I think if you put that in, you’ll find the site. Really good. They play a lot of relient k and other bands like them. Just thought I would fill you in on that.

    I’ll have to check that out. I’m always on the lookout for new stations and such.

    (By the way, there’s “Leave a Comment” link on the left side of the website where you can post “random” comments like this.)

    Hmm, the Redskins lost… If the prediction holds true, Kerry will win. Who wants to go house hunting in Canada?
