The Dutch Effect

A consistently negative phenomenon that occurs when Dutch—either a person known as Dutch or someone associated with the nickname—watches a sports game that their friends or family are emotionally invested in. Once Dutch tunes in, the favored team almost always loses. In extreme cases, a star player suffers a serious or season-ending injury. The Dutch Effect has become synonymous with jinxing crucial moments in sports.

Dutch’s family is rooting hard for the Indiana Pacers in Game 7 of the 2025 NBA Finals. After staying away the entire series, Dutch decides to watch. The result? The Pacers lose in heartbreaking fashion, and Tyrese Haliburton sustains a major injury that sidelines him for the entire next season. That’s the Dutch Effect in full force.

Person 2: That's the Dr Helga Effect for you!
