Will Canada fall victim to the Drake Curse at the World Cup? (www.nytimes.com)

The Canadian rapper's clothing brand helped design the team's tracksuit - but does his involvement come at a cost?

Ball don’t lie:

Canadians are among many around the world familiar with what can happen when Drake aligns himself with a team. It’s called the Drake Curse. When the rapper — whose global popularity is surpassed by very few figures — publicly presents himself as a fan of a team or an athlete, stark losses often follow. Take this with tongue planted firmly in cheek but there is mounting evidence to suggest the Drake Curse is real.

I'm shocked that women suffer when Drake is present.
