The Jets, a team that has had its fair share of bad luck in the past, found themselves in a familiar position when star cornerback Sauce Gardner posted a photo with Drake. Fans immediately went into panic mode, fearing the infamous Drake Curse would bring misfortune upon their team in the upcoming season. However, Gardner quickly reassured fans that he was actually planning to use the curse to their advantage. He encouraged Drake to bet on all other 31 NFL teams each week, hoping that this would somehow lead to success for the Jets.
Drake has gained a reputation for jinxing teams and athletes that he supports. Most recently, his preferred college basketball team, Kentucky, suffered a shocking loss to a 14 seed in the NCAA tournament. He also backed #1 seeded Houston, who ultimately fell to Duke in the Sweet 16. While Drake has been a loyal supporter of the Toronto Raptors, who won an NBA title in 2019, many of the other teams he has endorsed have faced disappointing outcomes in crucial moments.
Jets fans were clearly concerned when they saw the photo of Drake with Gardner and Odell Beckham Jr. Commentators on social media warned Gardner to stay away from the rapper, fearing that his involvement would lead to a negative impact on the team’s performance. The idea of the Drake Curse looming over the Jets was enough to create a sense of unease among the fan base.
As the NFL season approaches, all eyes will be on the Jets to see if the Drake Curse will have any effect on their performance. While some fans may be skeptical of Gardner’s plans to use the curse to their advantage, others are hopeful that this unconventional strategy will pay off. Regardless of the outcome, it is clear that the influence of celebrities like Drake can have a significant impact on the sports world. Only time will tell if the Jets are able to overcome the curse and achieve success in the upcoming season.
