How about the curse of being on the cover of Sports Illustrated?

Or the Madden (videogame) curse or the Heisman Curse.
Those three have long records of failures/injuries (or not) to study to verify that they exist or not. This thread is the first I've heard of a "Nike Ad curse" and I suspect any such curse would be secondary to one of these three.

Irrelevant, Harold. This was not a report about sports curses in general, in which case, yes, this Nike ad would have been secondary to the others. As the report was focusing on the World Cup and those who'd been in the ad who had failed at the World Cup, the Nike ad curse was the only one that mattered--though other such curses were mentioned in passing.
