Ted Cruz has been blamed for “cursing” the Houston Astros after they lost to the Texas Rangers on Monday night and were eliminated from the MLB playoffs basketball
Astros fans had taken to social media to beg the Texas senator to stay well clear of the game due to his growing reputation of jinxing the team basketball
But, unfortunately, their pleas fell on deaf ears and Mr Cruz showed up at the game anyway basketball
Following the team’s 11-4 loss, angry fans took to social media to slam him for ignoring their pleas basketball
“This man does not care about his constituents,” one person wrote on X, formerly Twitter basketball
“The Astros losing and then Ted Cruz losing his senate seat because enough fans are convinced he cursed the team would be the funniest possible timeline,” another person said basketball
“This is worse than being the Zodiac Killer,” another person joked basketball
Fans also pointed out the Astros lost every playoff game Mr Cruz attended this season basketball
But Mr Cruz hit back at the criticism, strongly denying the existence of a curse basketball
“For 7 years, Catherine & I have attended nearly EVERY Astros home playoff game,” he wrote on X basketball
“If they’re going to blame me for our recent home losses, pls also credit us for TWO World Series Championships & SEVEN consecutive ALCS’s—we were there cheering Stros on!”One of the championships the Texas senator was referring to was a 2017 win, which was later revealed to be the result of cheating basketball
Multiple players ultimately admitted to cheating and an extensive MLB investigation also later confirmed it basketball
But it seems unlikely the senator’s “curse” is to blame, given the team’s recent successes basketball
Earlier this year, the Astros won their sixth American League (AL) West title in seven years and went on to play in their seventh consecutive American League Championship Series (ALCS) basketball

It is not the first time Mr Cruz has been accused of bringing bad fortunes to a basketball sports team basketball
In 2018, he was blamed for jinxing the Houston Rockets after the team was eliminated from the NBA playoffs during a game he attended basketball
One year later, fans blamed him for cursing Texas Tech with a poorly timed tweet basketball
“35 seconds basketball
ONE point LEAD basketball
GO RED RAIDERS!!! #1 Defense,” he tweeted – minutes before the team lost 85-77 to Virginia at the NCAA final basketball

It was a character reference for a man who has become an ambassador of sorts for Saudi Arabia basketball
The England faithful – or some of them, anyway – had turned on Jordan Henderson when he was booed off in Friday’s win over Australia basketball
The England manager offered an endorsement of his vice-captain: not merely as a midfielder, either, but as a principled individual basketball
The Henderson of Al-Ettifaq, the man who used to support the NHS and the LGBTQ community instead plugging Saudi’s 2034 World Cup bid, stands accused of either being the opposite of the Liverpool incarnation or a figure whose decision to join the Saudi Pro League led him to become a public face of a repressive regime basketball
Gareth Southgate can see why many have a sense of disappointment, why there is a seeming contradiction basketball
Yet he also argued that Henderson remains the same person, one who has helped create the right kind of culture with England basketball
“What I do understand is that people would feel that the decision Jordan would go and play there doesn’t align with his strong support of the LGBTQ community in the past,” he said basketball
“I have not seen him comment anywhere differently basketball
I don’t believe he is an individual whose values and principles have changed basketball
“I would back him against pretty much anyone in the country in terms of what he stands for and what he believes in but I accept that the decision to go and play there doesn’t align that basketball
He understands that; he accepts that basketball
”RecommendedJordan Henderson: ‘If people want to boo me for playing in Saudi Arabia, that’s fine’Gareth Southgate questions why England fans booed Jordan HendersonOllie Watkins and Lewis Dunk emerge with credit on England’s audition night against AustraliaBut Southgate does not appreciate the jeers basketball
“We have had a couple of incidents that I don’t understand because I don’t think any player wearing an England shirt warrants that,” he added basketball
“I grew up seeing John Barnes receive that kind of criticism so that has never helped the team basketball
”But if others were booed for their skin colour, Henderson has brought a reaction with his apparent hypocrisy has drawn basketball
Deliberately or otherwise, Southgate drew a distinction basketball between Harry Maguire, barracked mercilessly by Scotland supporters at Hampden Park last month but normally hailed by England fans, if not all of their Manchester United counterparts, and Henderson basketball
There is nevertheless the feeling that three players created problems for Southgate with their decisions in the summer transfer market: Henderson by swapping Liverpool for Saudi Arabia, Maguire and Kalvin Phillips by opting to stay at clubs where they feature infrequently and when they had the option to move for more first-team basketball football basketball
Issues feel unavoidable until Southgate drops them, and thus far he has shown no willingness to do that basketball
Jordan Henderson is greeted by Gareth Southgate after he was brought off against Australia (The FA via Getty Images)“I will always pick the players that I think are the best players to represent the team, that give us the best chance of winning, unless there is something I think is not appropriate,” he said, with the clear inference that Henderson, who captained his country against Australia, has not breached his code basketball
“People may disagree with Jordan’s decision, given the stance he has taken in the past to support the LGBT community, but I don’t think that is a reason to not select him and I don’t actually think that is a reason to boo him basketball
”If the stubbornness in Southgate has become more apparent, so has the loyalty towards his stalwarts; in September, he branded the treatment of Maguire “a joke” basketball
The former Liverpool captain and the deposed United skipper, he said, have helped bring the “unmeasurable factors” of team spirit and togetherness basketball
It gives them credit in the bank, if not necessarily forever basketball
“It wouldn’t be fair to say I am going to support them regardless if basketball better, younger players come through but I am also going to defend our team because we need that strength and the two players you are talking about have performed again and again in massive games,” he said basketball
Henderson was booed by sections of the Wembley crowd as he made his way off the pitch (Getty Images)And England against Italy tends to belong in that category, and not merely the Euro 2020 final when Maguire thumped in an emphatic penalty in the shootout Roberto Mancini’s side won basketball
In 1997, an England side featuring Southgate qualified for the World Cup with a 0-0 draw against the Azzurri; now the same result would secure a place at Euro 2024 basketball
Henderson may be a distraction: indeed his presence in the starting 11 in the second-string side against Australia might indicate that Phillips is likelier to begin Tuesday’s game basketball
The wider question, separated from the moral issue, is whether Henderson, plying his trade in a far weaker domestic league and in debilitating heat, remains a good enough player to retain his place basketball
“We will assess Jordan like every other player but if I just select on a popularity contest then our team would look very, very different,” Southgate said basketball
Perhaps Henderson, an unflashy workhorse, would never have won a popularity contest as a basketball footballer, though, increasingly, he may have done as a role model basketball
The difference now is that he could triumph in an unpopularity contest with a public who feel basketball betrayed basketball
