I say it every year and I will say it this year, as much as I want Orange to win I don't want the curse to be broken. We're on year 13, and it's become such an intense superstition in our sport that it's a part of cheer culture.
Imagine watching Stingrays Vermillion take the floor in their self lacing Nfinities at the 2050 worlds and going "I wonder why they even bother, they won NCA they know it's hopeless" while your friend shushes you without looking away from the hologram of worlds hoping that this is FINALLY the year someone pulls off breaking the curse.
I was bummed in 2016 when I realized no one would ever bring billy goats to Wrigley field again, and I'll be bummed when the NCA curse isn't something people legitimately factor into their bracket every year.
I think it's so iconic that teams in LAG both want and don't want to win NCA lol
