The release of Victor Cruz means New York's Latino sports star club is now down a member.
Cruz, a native of Paterson, New Jersey, is also a proud Puerto Rican who was embraced fully by the large Boricua population in the city. New York City is home to over 2.3 million Latinos, 700,000 of which are Puerto Rican, according to the U.S. census measuring the city's population demographics.
Cruz became well-known for showing off his salsa moves after nearly every touchdown. Cruz's celebration is a tribute to his deceased grandmother, Lucy Molina, who taught him how to dance earlier in life.
