	Description:		Sport is an integral part of popular culture – heritage, sense of national identity and an almost religious relevance in the discussions of fans when they talk about their favorite team. It's unavoidable for reports about top athletes and sporting heroes to include a few 'so, what helps you make it this far?'. Naturally, that will include superstitious behaviors that this profession seems to develop! The popularity of sport combined with the fact that its participants are a traditionally superstitious group makes athletes the most famous of all superstitious people.Poem by Digital Cuttlefish: 'The Curse of the Buried Jersey' found at http://digitalcuttlefish.blogspot.com/2008/04/curse-of-buried-jersey.html.Theme songs are 'P & P' by Derek K Miller of http://www.penmachine.com and '365' by Milton Mermikides, of www.miltonmermikides.com.Head to the official site at www.tokenskeptic.org and feel free to give feedback and pose questions in the comments or at tokenskeptic@tokenskeptic.org.
