Flies are lucky joke. I dont get it


Im not a jock and I dont wear jockstraps, so I really dont get the whole joke of flies being lucky

the player never washes his jockstrap, it eventually is so nasty it attracts flies. The player thinks the flies bring him luck so he doesn't change his bad habit.
It's a horrible joke but it tries to explain how superstitious players are.
Former tennis player Andre Agassi said he once forgot to wear underwear during a tough match, which he surprisingly won so he never wore underwear in a tennis match again.
