Tribal Leader Claims to Have Placed Curse on Lincoln Financial Field
Two games, two losses. An offense that has yet to score more than 12 points. Fourth round pick Jamaal Green out for the season. Defensive tackle Paul Grasmanis, wide receiver James Thrash and first round stud Jerome McDougal all carted off the field.
Philly fans are left wondering... is the new Lincoln Financial Field cursed?
Up until now it has been sort of a joke that fans have muttered under the collective breaths as they left the first two preseason games at the sparkling new replacement for Veterans Stadium.
But according to Algonquin Indian tribe member Robert Blackwoods, the bad luck that seems to be emanating from the Eagles' shining new stadium is not mere happenstance.
"It's a cursed stadium, and I cursed it," claims Blackwoods, a 67 year-old elder member of the Algonquin Indian Tribal Council known by some in the tribe as the resident "witchdoctor."
According to Blackwoods, Kud International, LLC, the developers of Lincoln Financial Field, failed to open many of the construction bids to his tribe and would not respond to repeated requests from Blackwoods and other Algonquin members to hire Native Americans and other minorities.
"To be blunt, they have no idea what they have brought upon themselves," asserts Blackwoods. "The Eagles will not win in that stadium, its that simple. Injuries are just the beginning."
While he would not elaborate as to the exact method used to curse the new stadium, Blackwoods made it clear the curse will stay in place until the Eagles and Kud provide his tribe with reparations.
"For anyone who still doubts whether this curse exisits, I encourage them to sit back and watch what happens on September 8," warns Blackwoods.
"Unfortunately, it is the Eagles players and their fans who will have to deal with this," said Blackwoods.
Neither Eagles management nor representatives from Kud International, LLC would comment for this story.
Looks like the "Redskins" are having the last laugh!
