The NBA community is speaking out following one fan’s racist text aimed at Hispanic people who were cheering on the San Antonio Spurs at a recent game.
On Thursday, a woman appeared to use her phone to respond to someone who addressed the “crazy Hispanic fans” at the Spurs’ playoff-clinching win over the Phoenix Suns, per a viral TikTok clip shot by @inluvwganineee.
“All Hispanic! How can they afford it,” read a message purportedly written by the woman in the video.
The clip swiftly caught the attention of the San Antonio Spurs, an organization that’s notably based in a city with a majority Hispanic/Latino population.
“All of us in the Spurs organization are proud to live in San Antonio, a city that shines and thrives because of the culture and contributions of our Latino community,” the Spurs wrote in a statement on Friday.
