Ted Cruz!Stay woke with our briefing while staying informed on all things LGBTQ+ entertainment, life, and more!Long associated with homophobia and far-right politics, the notoriously unpopular Texas senator is now linked to another regretful phenomenon: losing sports teams.The Cruz Sports Curse dates back to at least 2018, when the Houston Rockets lost a decisive Game 7 to the Golden State Warriors in the NBA playoffs.
With Cruz sitting courtside, the Rockets missed a record 27 straight 3-point attempts.It was a remarkable feat of futility, just like Cruz’s attempts to appear likable.Since then, Cruz’s favorite teams always appear to lose whenever he’s in attendance.
One of the worst defeats happened last October, when he attended the Houston Astros’ Game 7 against the Texas Rangers, with a trip to the World Series on the line.Despite being the most dominant team in MLB, the Astros fell to their cross-state rival by a score of 11-4.
Their bad luck continued this season, as they failed to win a playoff game for the first time since 2016.Simply undefeated at being a huge loser.
