Ted Cruz Dragged After 'Cursing' Yet Another Texas Team By Showing Up To Game

The GOP Senator showed up to the national semifinal college football game between Texas and Washington—and things didn't go well for the Longhorns.

Texas Republican Senator Ted Cruz was widely mocked after his recent appearance at the Texas Longhorns' Sugar Bowl matchup against the Washington Huskies once again sparked a debate among sports fans: Does his attendance bring bad luck to the teams he supports?

Unfortunately for the Longhorns, the game ended in a 37-31 defeat against the Huskies, leading some avid fans to see Cruz's presence as an ominous sign. This loss further fuels a supposed trend linked to Cruz's attendance at sporting events: the belief that whenever he shows up, the team he supports tends to lose.

The recent defeat of the Longhorns has reignited the debate among fans, and some are once again attributing the loss to Cruz's attendance.

The mockery was swift.

Last year, Cruz was mocked online after the Houston Astros faced elimination from the MLB playoffs in a home game against the Texas Rangers, which ended in a significant loss.

Before the critical seventh game of the American League Championship Series, fans had already expressed their wishes on social media, urging the Senator to avoid attending games as his presence was often associated with poor outcomes.

It's important to note that one of those championships occurred in 2017, and it became a subject of controversy as it was later revealed that the team had engaged in cheating, a fact admitted by multiple players and confirmed by an extensive MLB investigation.

Fans have observed that the Astros lost every playoff game Cruz attended during this season, and they also pointed out his less-than-stellar record when supporting other teams.

In 2018, he was accused of bringing bad luck to the Houston Rockets, attending the game in which the team was eliminated from the NBA playoffs. Additionally, in a subsequent year, his untimely tweet during his presence at the NCAA final was blamed for cursing Texas Tech.
