Are Roosevelt Island Ghosts & Spirits Jinxing NY Times Softball Team for Support of Louis Kahn Memorial?

The ghosts and spirits brought back by the Encampment and now inhabiting Roosevelt Island may be fighting against the New York Times for that newspaper's support of the Louis Kahn/FDR memorial at Southpoint Park. How you may ask? By jinxing the New York Times Digital softball team whenever they play on Roosevelt Island. From NYTD Softball:
... the NYTD team was not looking forward to returning to their least favorite softball field – Roosevelt Island's Copobiancco Field. With an all-time record of 1 win and 3 losses on that field, needless to say we were not feeling very confident going into the game either.
The Times softball team lost another game to make their record on Roosevelt Island 1-4 with one more Roosevelt Island game to play. They are looking forward to playing elsewhere:
After another game on a field that makes Mr. Hankey from South Park look good, we will finally have our first of 4 games in Central Park...
All the Times needs to do in order to win their softball games is to turn away from the Dark Force and join the forces of Light and Goodness opposing the Kahn memorial, thereby saving these magnificent waterfront views from destruction and parkland from concrete.
