[Jorge Filevich]

I was surprised to see a sports show on TV where they were discussing 
The Curse. And they were doing it seriously, not as a Joke, not making 
fun of anything, just plain seriously. Being from another country and 
knowing nothing about The Curse, that show seemed really odd. Specially 
when the "same" reporters laugh when a soccer (fútbol) team from Brazil 
hires an Umbanda witch to curse the other team for the Finals of the 
Libertadores Cup (South American Championship, like the Champions League 
in Europe), I actually saw a couple of  article a few years ago in a 
local and nationals newspapers mocking this news.
