The Texas Rangers baseball team is investigating an alleged incident of racism and harassment after a Hispanic family says it was berated by a man at Saturday’s game that took place just hours after a mass shooting in El Paso.

The team in a statement Monday said it was looking into the accusations after Jessica Romero’s Facebook post detailing her experience at Saturday’s game in Arlington went viral, accumulating more than 100,000 reactions in a few days.

“He made it perfectly clear during the second inning that he is not a fan of Hispanics,” Romero wrote in her post, including an image of an unidentified man sitting behind her and her family giving her the middle finger. “And he just so happened to have a Hispanic family (us) sitting in front of him and another one sitting directly behind him.”

She added that the man openly complained “about all the illegal immigrants that were surrounding him at the game. That he should kick little Speedy Gonzalez all the way back to Mexico for kicking his seat. That Trump needs to hurry and build the wall and send all these illegals back so they won’t be kicking his seat.”

"Sadly this is not the first or the last time we will ever experience this kind of racism," Romero concluded in her post.

The Rangers said they reached out to Romero to learn more about the incident, according to the Dallas Morning News.

"The Rangers are committed to providing all of our guests with a safe and enjoyable experience and we are truly sorry that this family was subjected to this offensive behavior at Saturday's game," the team said in a statement. "There is no place at Globe Life Park in Arlington for this type of conduct to occur. After learning of this incident on Sunday, we have reached out to the Romero family and pledge to make their next trip to Globe Life Park a memorable and enjoyable experience."

Romero said she was appreciated of the Rangers contacting her and does not blame the team for the incident, instead attributing it to “some bad apples.”

The incident at Saturday’s game came just hours after a mass shooting in El Paso that claimed more than 20 lives.

The suspected gunman reportedly authored an anti-immigrant manifesto with specific references to the influx of Hispanics in Texas and across the country.
