How can they afford it.&#8221; The video cuts off before the woman sends the text.<\/p>\n<p>User @inluvwganineee posted the video with the text overlay, &#8220;If your gma (grandma) was at the game tonight, ew.&#8221; She also wrote in the caption, &#8220;&#8216;How can they afford it&#8217; is craaaazy. Someone come get your gma (grandma) fr (for real).&#8221; The song playing over the video is 2024&#8217;s &#8220;No Face&#8221; by Drake.<\/p>\n<p>The video, which has since been deleted from the original poster&#8217;s page, boasted 1.4 million views.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p>Much like @inluvwganineee, other Spurs fans and social media users weren&#8217;t very happy to see the woman&#8217;s text, which many noted was typed in rather large font. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, San Antonio&#8217;s 1.5 million population is made up of 65% Latinos.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Not her saying that in SAN ANTONIO, TX!!!&#8221; wrote user @sanchez.monicadg.<\/p>\n<p>Another user, @hybridcarlos wrote, &#8220;Last time I checked it was the San Antonio Spurs, not the Saint Anthony Spurs.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Others were upset because the woman was stereotyping Latinos as an ethnicity who could not afford tickets to a Spurs game.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p>On Instagram, user @nurse_marlyn wrote, &#8220;Lady, it&#8217;s 2026\u2026 you might be surprised what we&#8217;re capable of&#8221; while user @sanantoniostephanie wrote, &#8220;I can afford it because I work duuuuh\u2026She&#8217;s not very smart.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>On her original post, some Latino Spurs fans even posted photos of themselves in lower-level sections of the arena enjoying their time with friends and family.<\/p>\n<p>The Spurs have one of the most diverse fan bases in the NBA, so this kind of behavior has no place in San Antonio. If anything, the backlash serves as a reminder that hate has no place in the Alamo City.<\/p>\n<p>This article originally published at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mysanantonio.com\/sports\/spurs\/article\/san-antonio-spurs-racist-fan-22088220.php?utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=yahoo_syndication\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Spurs fans slam woman sending racist texts as Wemby clinches playoffs;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;Spurs fans slam woman sending racist texts as Wemby clinches playoffs&quot;}\" class=\"link \">Spurs fans slam woman sending racist texts as Wemby clinches playoffs<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A woman at a recent San Antonio Spurs game was\u00a0put on blast when a fellow attendee posted a&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":670138,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3797],"tags":[7,7779,861,6,472,969,474,4075,4074,534,693],"class_list":{"0":"post-670137","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-san-antonio-spurs","8":"tag-basketball","9":"tag-frost-bank-center","10":"tag-jalen-green","11":"tag-nba","12":"tag-phoenix-suns","13":"tag-san-antonio","14":"tag-san-antonio-spurs","15":"tag-sanantonio","16":"tag-sanantoniospurs","17":"tag-spurs","18":"tag-victor-wembanyama"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nba\/116265395959201333","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/670137","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=670137"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/670137\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/670138"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=670137"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=670137"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=670137"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
