         <description><![CDATA[<div>1. Usually sports fanatics think that wearing "lucky clothes" can help them to win a match<br><br>2. You should think that there isnt any logical reason for fearing it<br><br>3. I would say that any superstition is bad if you dont become obssesed with it. There are superstitions that were useful in the past, but nowadays we have much bigger problems.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div><strong>1. Sports fans usually believe there are some objects that might help their teams win, such as caps or socks. That objects provide more confidence on the ones that are wearing them and maybe that actually helps.<br><br>2. You can search logical facts to that fear. You won't find any, so you can "convince yourself" in some way. You can also search help from some specialist.&nbsp;<br><br>3. Yes, they can. You can obsess with wearing lucky objects. So imagine you are very keen in lucky charms and one day you have a very important exam and you forget it in your house. You may be more worried about having left it at home than about the exam.<br><br>4. I think they are both harmful, but specially the negative ones. Same reasons as in number 3, you can obsess with them.&nbsp;<br>Although, if you don't, it's perfectly normal and you can believe in such things.<br></strong><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>1- There are sports fans that think that some objects or actions can provide help to their teams while they play. Those things that bring luck can make the players feel more confident when they play. <br><br>2- You can try to face it, you should go places and do actions that require number 13 and you will see that it does not bring bad luck.<br><br>3- They can be harmful if you think that you will only be good at something if you do it with the thing that brings you good luck. You shouldn't depend on those things for being confident on you. <br><br>4- They can also be harmful. You can stop doing things because a bad superstition: it's not good that you base your aptitudes in superstitions.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>1. Often the sports fans believe that some objects like "socks or T-shirts" make his team play better. That can be helpful because that gives the player the illusion of control and can play better. <br><br>  2. For getting over your fear you can try to use that number for everything. For example, if you stay in a hotel choose the room 13 and in that way, you can see that a number can't be the reason for the bad luck. <br><br>3.  Both can be harmful if you become obsessive whit it because that can make your lifestyle more difficult. <br><br></div>]]></description>
