i genuinely fail to understand the columbus crew, like zionists get stolen land out of blatantly supporting genocide, idk wtf anyone gains from dying on a hill for that one guy who was so shit at navigating he thought he was on a different continent and then proceeded to kill and enslave thousands and kickstart the largest genocide in human history. i guess a political bloc for the organizers?

Columbus was diefied for the sake of italian-american pride. Change Columbus day to “Italian-American day” and I bet they stop caring about him in less than 10 years.

there has to be another italian guy to deify in place of columbus

Garibaldi would be a good choice too

Giuseppe Garibaldi, easy, and he is actually Italian unlike Columbus (Genoese is not Italian)

Columbus Day was given to Italian Americans after 11 were lynched in a New Orleans Riot

Several of the victims were repeatedly shot and several others were hanged, their bodies grossly put on display in the aftermath. Eleven men were lynched while the rest of the people in the prison managed to hide or escape. None of the men who were lynched were found guilty of being involved in Hennessy’s murder.

...

The violent lynching strained international relations between the U.S. and Italian governments, with Italy removing their U.S. ambassador from Washington, D.C. To appease the Italian government and to gain the vote of Italian Americans, U.S. president Benjamin Harrison proclaimed the first nationally-recognized Columbus Day celebration to be a one-time celebration on Oct. 21, 1892.

Yeah Wilfried Nancy has the Crew playing some of the most dynamic football MLS has ever seen. Even other coaches in the league struggle to adjust for them which is why they've recently won the MLS cup and reached the champions league final the following year.

yamcha me when there's no funny football emotes to express me lmao at finding out columbus crew is a MLS team

[-] [email protected] 11 points 3 days ago

This comment is funny because "Columbus Crew" is the name of the MLS team from Columbus, Ohio.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 3 days ago

shit that is really funny

he was a fuckwit who got extremely lucky once, landed in the caribbean, wrote down that the people he found there were the nicest, most hospitable and friendly people he'd ever met, and then immediately started enslaving and murdering them.

truly someone to look up to.

Dude was jailed in fucking Spain for his egregious crimes, which is notable because Spain would continue to do some of the worst things ever done and they still locked him up for it.

Plus isn't it not certain he was actually Italian?

[-] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago

shrug-outta-hecks at this point he's an honorary italian, they can claim him if they want lmao
