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.
? No sé qué piensan ustedes… pero hoy nuestro estadio se ve más hermoso que nunca ?
¡Sí! Porque durante marzo y abril se remodeló la tribuna Andes con 2.350 butacas nuevas ?
? ¡Ahora sí que tenemos muchas más ganas de recibirlos a todos! ? #VamosPalestino ?? pic.twitter.com/5fjywR0xQr
