It’s called messin with the mojo. It’s very scientific
Exactly.
For the life of me I cannot understand why so many refuse to acknowlege the existence of mojo. As a fan, rituals, superstitions, routines in an attempt to add to good or to break mojo, vibes, momentum, absolutely can have an impact the outcome and this is not hokum, but actual science.
All one needs to have is a basic understanding of quantum mechanics to verify this. The Observer Effect states that one can change the nature orbehavior of an object by changing the position they are observing it. This doesn't even take into account the possibility of some quanta, attached to a can or bottle of Lite or Rolling Rock (or perhaps a chicken wing) could well be entangled with a quanta attached to the basketball than an opponent just released, which may or may not make it through the hoop depending on the movement of the entangled particles.
Seriously, I don't see why some are having such a difficult time with it; it's just quantum mechanics and particle physics.
