Why can't I say that? You said the direct opposite. What is the difference?

Do you understand what a curse is? Here is the definition:

An appeal or prayer for evil or misfortune to befall someone or something

Sianis sent a telegram to Wrigley saying: "You are going to lose this (1945) World Series and you are never going to go to the World Series again. You are never going to win a World Series again because you insulted my goat."
He wished misfortune on the Cubs. That is a curse. Did Babe Ruth wish misfortune on the Red Sox when he was traded? If not, then it ain't a curse.
The media came up with the idea that since Ruth left the Sox, they have had bad luck. With the Cubs, a man wished misfortune on the team. The media didn't come up with what Sianis did.
