Snopes
The urban legend that i thought was true was that whenever it was an election year and the Washington Redskins win their last home game then the party that was in the white house stays in the white house but if they lose then the other party takes over. For example this year the Redskins last home game they lost to the Pittsburgh Steelers therefor that means that the Democrats would take over the white house since the current president was a Republican and that did happen. This theory had been correct every single year dating back to 1936. But it was broken in 2004 when the redskins lost their last home game and republican president won the election and there was already a republican president. This theory had been correct every single election sine 1936 except for one year in 2004. I thought this was true because they always talk about it on sports center but it was wrong in 2004 before that i thought it always happened. Another one that i thought was true was that a Babe Ruth candy bar was named after Babe Ruth but it was really named after president Cleveland's daughter.

I knew the Babe Ruth one but i never had heard that theory about the Redskins. It is quiet interesting.
