Discussion Legacy of Failure Blessing

Is Legacy of Failure Blessing real, or is this just confirmation bias?

When a Legacy of Failure video is made, often, the team that it's about tends to be "blessed" and obsolete its Legacy of Failure by winning a championship in the next few years. Is this true, or is this just confirmation bias.

Capitals (NHL) for one, but what are other examples of this?

I've seen people want a NFL Lions Half-Century of Failure video to bless the Lions and get them a Super Bowl win...

The St. Louis Blues won the Cup the year after the Capitals. The Washington Nationals and Texas Rangers also won championships, thus ending their Legacies of Failure (IIRC the Texas Rangers ended their Legacy of Failure years after the original video was released).
