The San Antonio Spurs have released an official statement after an old lady was video taped texting someone questions about how the Latino fans in the crowd could afford the tickets. San Antonio has the largest majority-Hispanic population in the United States with 64%.
At the Spurs vs. Phoenix Sun game in San Antonio on Thursday night, an elderly White woman was caught on video texting someone on her cell phone about the “crazy Hispanic fans” in the crowd, and wondering how they can afford the tickets.
