ο Καθηγητης Ιστοριας του @paofc μας @Kitro1908 για τον #Βαρδινογιάννη : Ήταν άνθρωπος της εποχής του, ήταν ένας Καπετάνιος έξω και μέσα στα γήπεδα: 21 χρόνια πρόεδρος, 6 πρωταθλήματα, 9 κύπελλα και 2 ευρωπαϊκοί ημιτελικοί.paofactory.gr/giorgos-vardin…

Αυτό πρέπει ν το διαβάσουν ΟΛΟΙ οι Παναθηναϊκοί!
Οι παλιότεροι θ καταλάβουν έννοιες σαν τον "καπετάνιο του πειρατικού" κ τον "ερπετόπουλο".
Οι νεότεροι ευκαιρία ν μάθουν (μια μικρή έρευνα αρκεί).
Άρθρο ΕΠΟΣ!
Διότι κάπου πρέπει ν μπει κ ένα όριο στην προπαγάνδα τους!

Νέο Άρθρο από Α. Μπατζια. Ο τελικός της Μπολόνια δεν είναι πρώτα σκορ, στατιστική ή κούπα. Είναι η βραδιά που ένα παιδί κάθισε μπροστά στην οθόνη χωρίς να ξέρει ακόμη τι ακριβώς βλέπει, αλλά καταλαβαίνοντας πως κάτι μέσα του αλλάζει. paofactory.gr/zots-emathe-ba…

Finally, @Kitro1908 joined me to explore how Turkey’s invasion of #Cyprus mobilized the Greek diaspora in the US, transforming how it approached advocacy work, and establishing it as a political force in Washington, DC.

👉Στις 15 Απριλίου 1896 ολοκληρώθηκαν στην Αθήνα οι πρώτοι σύγχρονοι Ολυμπιακοί Αγώνες.
🏦Κεντρικό σύμβολο της διοργάνωσης ήταν το Παναθηναϊκό Στάδιο και στην Τελετή Λήξης ήταν και ο νικητής του Μαραθωνίου Σπύρος Λούης ο οποίος παρέλαβε το Κύπελλο του Μισέλ Μπρεάλ.

Think Greece have a golden generation coming through?
Many thought the same when the Ethniki U19s reached the final of Euro 2012...
But where are they now? @NickRedV investigates 📝

This might be the most surreal thing I’ve ever seen: ultras from Turkish club Eskişehirspor dancing to Spanish songs and shouting “Olé!” in honour of Spain for refusing to let the U.S. use its military bases.
This is football heritage
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
This video is unrelated to recent diplomatic events between Spain and the United States. Eskişehirspor fans regularly sung this song previously.

Saint-Etienne surprised lifelong fan Timothee Chalamet and launched a new jersey while he was being interviewed on French TV 🤩
Upon being presented with the new fourth shirt, Chalamet immediately kissed the badge 💚

There's a synchrony that emerges when people are in the same place, feeling the same thing. We experience it in moments of ritualistic fervor, like a religious pilgrimage or, according to professor Dimitris Xygalatas's new book, sports games.

Rick Pitino after St. John’s 103-96 loss to Alabama at Madison Square Garden:
“That was the worst f***ing defensive performance I've ever witnessed in New York City…And we just let a Communist take over City Hall earlier this week.”

The #OXI - or NO - of the Greeks in the face of Mussolini's demands and the #Greek resistance to the Axis powers that followed left Americans "awestruck".
