Spurs Issue Inclusion Statement After Viral Video Shows Fan’s Anti-Hispanic Texts

The franchise highlighted its values in a majority-Hispanic city after online reaction to the clip escalated.

Overview

  • KSAT reports Spurs Sports & Entertainment issued a Friday statement affirming inclusion and respect, without naming the fan seen in the clip.
  • The March 20 TikTok video shows a woman texting lines such as “A lot of crazy Hispanic fans” and “How can they afford it” during the home win over Phoenix.
  • The reposted clip has surpassed 5 million views on TikTok and spread widely across platforms after an initial removal.
  • Reporters have not identified the woman or obtained her response, and the footage does not show her face.
  • A press-release image previously shared on social media was labeled fabricated by fact-checkers after no matching post appeared on official Spurs channels.
