Not sure where to post this, but: today, the Redsk--uh...Football Team Rule comes into play.
For the uninitiated, the rule is a factitious relationship between the results of the last Washington Football Team (formerly Redskins) game before a Presidential Election and the results of that election.
If Washington wins, the incumbent party remains in the White House. If Washington loses, the incumbent party is ousted from the White House. Since 1932, the rule has applied in all but four elections (1932, 2004, 2012, and 2016).
Washington currently leads Dallas 9-3 at the end of the 1st quarter (and they have next week off).
Yes yes, false correlation and all. But if y'all want Biden to win, y'all better root for the Cowboys.
Apparently, after 2004 it was revised:
When the popular vote winner does not win the election, the impact of the Redskins game on the subsequent presidential election gets flipped.
It still didn’t work in 2012 or 2016, but we can go with it. Since Hillary won the popular vote but not the election, this year is flipped, so if Washington wins, Trump loses. They’re now up 22-3. Woohoo!
