Texas Democrats are proposing a satirical ban on Senator Ted Cruz from attending college playoff games, citing a so-called 'Cruz Curse' that allegedly brings bad luck to Texas teams when he is present.
The resolution, introduced by Harris County Democrats, highlights Cruz's history of attending games where local teams have lost, turning his support into a running joke among fans. While the proposal is not serious legislation, it has gained attention for its humorous take on sports superstition and political rivalry. The move underscores ongoing tensions between Texas Democrats and the Republican senator.
The story has sparked widespread discussion on social media and in local news.

This is just another example of Texas Democrats wasting time on petty stunts instead of actually focusing on real issues that matter to Texans. Instead of making jokes about Ted Cruz, maybe they should try doing their jobs for once. It's no wonder people are losing faith in politicians when this is what passes for leadership these days.

Leave it to politicians to waste time on nonsense like this instead of actually working to reduce government overreach or protect our freedoms.

Honestly, if keeping Ted Cruz away from playoff games finally gives Texas teams a shot at winning, I say let’s give it a try—at the very least, it’s the most harmless thing politicians have argued about all year!
