Chilean Soccer (Futbol) Team Installs Palestinian Colored Seats

This is a bit hard to explain to my fellow Americans.

But in Chile, there is a soccer (futbol) team with the name of Palestinian (Palestino). It fans glory in the Palestinian cause.

They announced on Twitter today, that their home stadium (La Cisterna) has installed new seats, which are red, white, and green.

Red, white, and green are the colors of CD Palestino (Palestinian Sport Club), but the colors are derived from the red, white, green, and black which were the colors of the Arab Revolt against the Turks, and which morphed into the Palestinian flag.

So this soccer team in Chile is celebrating 2,350 new seats which are in three of the four colors of the Palestinian Flag.
