Is County Mayo Cursed?

Is County Mayo in Ireland Cursed? I take to the streets of County Mayo to ask the people themselves!
It is believed that the Mayo GAA Football team have been under a curse of some kind since 1951. I take to the streets of County Mayo as part of my series '32 Counties, 32 Questions' to find out if the people of Mayo really believe in the curse?

The people you interviewed are so jovial and hilarious. Each person had a great defense of their opinions. Usually you make the people laugh but they gave it right back to you and hearing you laugh made this even funnier. Always a good time when you’re involved.

[@kevobrien4329]

My family are originally from Westport circa 1870’s onward and traced the lineage to there. Now living in Belfast and I have to say, I’d love to see Mayo bring Sam home. As much as I love to see Sam coming North I can’t see Antrim winning one for many a year yet, and Tyrone have had recent success in ‘03 ‘05 and ‘08. So I’m in a win win. I don’t believe in the Mayo curse but they’ve been knocking on the door for so long that if any team is due a win, it’s Feckin Mayo. Oh the green and red of Mayo!!!!

[@donnasmyth45]

My Grandmother moved from Mayo to Belfast as a young woman in the 40s and remained here. We spent many a childhood holiday in Mayo...very fond memories..

My wife actually has documentable roots to county Mayo. ☺️ this makes me think of the Boston Red Sox “Curse of the Bambino” when they had no championship from 1918 until 2004. They sold the great Babe Ruth to the New York Yankees in 1920 and had an 86 year drought. I’ll never forget when they broke the “curse” and I was overjoyed! 😁 they’ve actually won three more championships since!

My great grandparents were from county Mayo. John Lyons and Margaret Sullivan.

I'm from the UK and before Covid hit I always came to Castlebar which is apart of Mayo. I do my studies on the gga team when I can but when I was at my local bar, Mick Byrne's Bar (Say hi to Mick when you are their on your travels lovely bloke) I got educated on County Mayo and their problem on not winning the big one. I feel this curse thing makes sense to me, although others think it's an excuse which I can understand I feel I understood the curse more, makes sense to me but I feel as a Mayo fan from the outside of Ireland that one day. The locals are friendly as they're all saying, the Guinness from Byrnns's bar, being a British citizen it's completely different and alot smoother can't beat it! I do believe in this Mayo curse even though it can be an excuse as I do believe the players need to stop bottling it as I just want Mayo to win the trophy as the locals deserve that for me. UP MAYO!

In my county Tyrone, our neighbors, Dromore GAA were too cursed by a priest way back in the day after he was struck by a club member. The priest promised they would never win a county championship.
