Heat fans get creative with their curses (Voodoo and Santeria)
The Miami Herald ^ | 6/9/11 | Barry Jackson And Wandoo Makurdi

The NBA doesn’t condone fans cursing at opposing players during games. But apparently, there’s nothing to prevent a fan from trying to place a curse on the opponents.

Scores of Heat fans have been buying vodou- or santeria-type dolls at a store in West Miami-Dade that specializes in religious statues, powders, incense and small animals. (snip)

“It is only for positive things,” he stressed — although, truth be told, if a purchaser thought they could use the dolls to bring misfortune to bear on the Mavs, Hernandez would be in no position to stop it.

In some parts of North Miami, I would drive down the road and on occasion see dead chickens with their heads cut off on the side of the road.

A great nation crumbles one voodoo doll at at time.

One more thing. Don’t you love how the paper describes this voodoo as “creative”?

Maybe that is what caused Dirk Nowitzky’s sprain finger and fever, but the black magic was not strong enough to keep him from performing.

I have been having and continue to have problems with my computer.

I see today you removed my posts 15.

So much for tolerance and sharing opinions and experiences...

And yet, you tolerate the following to which I was contributing. ¨Heat fans get creative with their curses (Voodoo and Santeria).¨

My subject matter was not about Voodoo Doctors who are bunch of sick folks who sacrifice animals. Did you read my comment? It does not appear you did.

Stupid is what stupid does. This is the reason I no longer contribute to FR.

Ignorance is salvageable. Stupidity is forever.

I have no idea what is happening to you folks in the U.S. As an American, I do not live in the U.S. My fellow Americans are becoming more and more unhinged by the day.
