Texas Democrats propose resolution to ban Cruz from college playoffs: 'Well-known curse'
A pair of Texas Democrats are putting forth a resolution aimed at barring “well-known curse” Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) from attending college playoff sporting events in the Lone Star State.
Harris County Democratic Party precinct Chairs Charles Kuffner and Bill Kelly “have come together to author a resolution prohibiting podcaster Ted Cruz from attending college playoff games in person given his record of personal failure,” according to a Wednesday news release on Kuffner’s website.
“The nine scariest words for any college fan to hear are ‘I’m Ted Cruz and I’m coming to your game,’” Kelly said in a statement.
The Houston Chronicle’s editorial board explained the so-called curse last year, writing that the lawmaker “has been present at so many disappointing games — the Rockets loss to the Warriors in the 2018 playoffs, the Texas Tech loss to Virginia in the NCAA men’s finals in 2019 and, well, the list goes on and on — that sports fans dread the ‘Cruz curse.'”
