is this for real? Looks like a SNL skit



"whether you're from here....or you moved here..."




Dumb but I have no issue with it, I've seen "put the J back in Tejas" shirts growing up in San Antonio decades ago. The original name was Tejas. To me it is like calling Austin "Waterloo".

Word Tejas has been around since the 17th century. Caddo Indian word, taysha or teysha, meaning "friends" or "allies," which Spanish explorers adopted to describe the Hasinai Confederacy in East Texas. Is this no longer taught in school. I remember learning about this in the 3rd grade. Y'all really get pressed over the littlest stuff.

The one from last year was a men's adult softball uniform. One of those travel teams that only hits home runs.

If San Antonio got a WNBA team, would they be called Las Churras? Somebody should ask Charles Barkley about it...


They've had a WNBA team for a long time.

The wording doesn't bother me....what bothers me is that it looks a USC baseball jersey

Right. A lot of the people *****ing about this probably also eat tamales at Christmas and then brag to their non-Texas friends about how it's tradition.

You mean to tell me there's folks that don't eat tamales at Christmas?

Well we did open the gate and now we live in a state with a majority Hispanic population.

I mean they were here first

I was born out of state but I guarantee you I was here before about 97% of the living hispanics in this state got here.

Whatever carpetbagger.

There's "maybe we're getting carried away with this H1B Visa thing" and then there's "**** all the brown people including the ones here hundreds of years before me".

Like it or not the Spanish language and Hispanic/Mexican culture is a fundamental part of the culture of this state. *****ing about this is ridiculous.

Well, the reason why the Texicans were here was because the Spanish and then Mexican government invited them...

Because there were too few people in Texas for them to defend against the indians...

So, actually, very few of them were here first....

This was a Mexican territory before it was an American state. It was majority Hispanic before it became majority Anglo. So Hispanics could make the same argument about anglos.

It was probably majority native american before it switched to majority anglo when the Mexican government invited everyone in from the US to help protect the area from indian raids...

Now, don't get me wrong, hispanic culture is and always has been a part of Texas, though...

As somebody who rages against identity politics, I have 0 problem with this.

Hispanic culture is a part of Texas. If this were happening in Main, Vermont, New Hampshire, or Seattle, I would roll my eyes

Denying Hispanic culture in Texas and its role since its inception is just being petulant or insanely ignorant. I guess a few pearls still need to be clutched here and there though.

Tejas is used all over the place in Texas.

Texans have never shied away from our history and Tejas is the origin of the word Texas.

Nope. no tamales for this 6th generation Texian.

I wonder if the recent controversy over the Texas Ranger statue they moved to the stadium factored into this decision/nod to their Hispanic fans.

Although I assume the statue controversy is one of those manufactured outrages courtesy of a dozen or fewer people who either get paid for stuff like that, or just take personal joy in it.

That's a stretch. These uniforms weren't thought up in the last two months or so.

They lost. End of story.

I assume you are pro-confederacy as they have history here also?
