That's a little different though but is equally silly.

I'm more referring to the perceived disrespect of touching it at all.

Lots of people thing that only an NHLer who has won the cup has the right to touch or lift the Stanley Cup.

An NHLer not wanting to touch or lift it until they win because of superstition, or even out of respect, is totally ok with me. As long as they don't extend their superstition to anyone else.
