Spurs Condemn Racist Texts Caught on Viral Video as Fans Reclaim the Message

The team reaffirmed inclusion after the clip spread, with no public identification of the woman in the footage.

Overview

  • A short video from Thursday’s playoff-clinching win over the Suns appears to show a woman texting, “A lot of crazy Hispanic fans” and “All Hispanic! How can they afford it.”
  • Spurs Sports & Entertainment issued a statement Friday praising San Antonio’s Latino community and stressing that inclusion is foundational to the franchise.
  • Spurs guard De’Aaron Fox criticized the remarks after Saturday’s win over the Pacers, calling the complaint nonsensical given Texas’ and San Antonio’s demographics.
  • Supporters at Frost Bank Center wore “Crazy Hispanic Fan” shirts, and the Spurs Jackals fan group posted that they reject discrimination and take pride in their cultura and city.
  • The clip, originating on TikTok and reposted widely, has millions of views; earlier online posts questioned whether a team statement existed, but local outlets published the official response, and the woman has not been publicly identified.
