[86] Some mainstream sources still contest that the Makhnovists were behind anti-Semitic pogroms in Ukraine. In Nestor Makhno, Anarchy’s Cossack, Alexandre Skirda traces this claim to its roots in anti-Makhno propaganda, while citing unfriendly contemporary sources who acknowledged that the Makhnovists were the only military units not carrying out pogroms. He also references propaganda put out by the Makhnovists attacking anti-Semitism as a tool of the aristocracy, Jewish militias that fought among the Makhnovists, and actions against pogromists personally carried out by Makhno.

Clarence Edwin “Cito” Gaston

Clarence Edwin “Cito” Gaston is a baseball manager, coach, and outfielder. He became the first African American baseball manager to win the World Series when the Toronto Blue Jays won in 1992.

Clarence Gaston was born to Sammy Gaston and Gertrude Coley on March 17, 1944, in San Antonio, Texas. Gaston’s adoption of the nickname “Cito” was often disputed growing up. He claims he adopted the name from a Mexican-American wrestler he watched when he was young. Another claim was that he adopted the name from a friend, Carlos Thompson, who thought he resembled a Cito wrestler. Gaston attended Wheatley High School in San Antonio, Texas, for a year, then transferred to Holy Cross High School and Solomon-Coles High School in Corpus Christi, Texas. Gaston graduated from Solomon-Coles High School in 1962.

After graduating, Gaston played semi-professional baseball in local leagues from 1962 to 1964. In 1964, Gaston was spotted by a scout from the then-Milwaukee Braves at a game and immediately signed him. Gaston would make his Major League Baseball debut in 1967 with the now-Atlanta Braves for a season. Gaston signed with the San Diego Padres in an expansion draft the following season and started playing with the team in 1969. Gaston’s best season with the team came in 1970 when he was selected for his first and only MLB All-Star game. He would remain with the Padres until the 1974 season. Gaston signed with the Braves for a second time the following season and remained with them until the 1978 season. He would then play with the Pittsburgh Pirates for part of the 1978 season and retire at the end of the season at the age of 34.

In 1982, Gaston became the hitting coach for the Toronto Blue Jays. With Gaston as one of the coaches, the team won its first division title in 1985. He remained a coach until the 1989 season when he became manager of the team. Under Gaston’s management, the Blue Jays became a significant World Series contender. During the 1992 season, the Blue Jays won their first World Series against the Atlanta Braves in six games. With that win, Gaston became the first African American to lead his team to a World Series.

Gaston and the Blue Jays won another World Series in 1993 after defeating the Philadelphia Phillies in six games. Gaston remained with the Blue Jays until the end of the 1997 season, when he was fired. He rejoined the team as hitting coach during the 2000 season and remained with the Blue Jays through 2001. In 2008, Gaston was rehired as manager of the Blue Jays and would stay in that position until the end of the 2010 season.

Gaston was elected to the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame in 2002. In 2006, Gaston was inducted into the San Antonio Sports Hall of Fame. Two years later, in 2008, Gaston was given a Negro League Hall of Fame Legacy Award (Jackie Robinson Award). He was inducted into the Ontario Canada Sports Hall of Fame in 2011.

Gaston has been married three times. He was married first to Lena Green Gaston. The couple had two daughters, Rochelle and Shawn, before divorcing. Gaston married a Canadian citizen, known as Denise, but the couple also divorced. Gaston married a third time to a woman named Lynda.

Let's begin with: the Rainbow Pride flag, for the LGBTQIA+/Queer community as a whole, or sometimes also for gay people specifically!

Here's the original, made by Gilbert Baker in 1978.

For practical reasons, the pink stripe got removed, and eventually, this flag became the 6 striped Rainbow flag we know and love:

Because of issues of lack of inclusivity within the community itself, the Rainbow flag went through many changes. Some agree with these changes, some don't, but they really represent how the queer community evolved throughout the years.

First we have the Philadelphia Pride flag (a.k.a. Philly Pride flag), which adds a black and a brown stripe to represent racial diversity and take a stance against racism in the community. The black stripe also stands for AIDS awareness.

Then these stripes got implemented into the Progress Pride flag, which adds the trans flag colours as well, to combat transphobia within the community.

(This is a colour-adjusted version I made, because the colours of the original didn't match the ones from the Philly flag; they admittedly looked prettier, but I'm a fan of consistency.)

Finally, this evolved into the latest Progress Pride flag, which includes the Intersex flag as well, making it clear that the "I" belongs into LGBTQIA+.

(also colour-adjusted; the original used slightly different colours for the intersex flag as well, and I didn't like that lol).

Meaning of LGBTQIA+, queer, and gay:

LGBTQIA+, formerly LGBT, is an acronym that stands for Lesbian, Gay, Bi, Trans, Queer, Intersex, and A-spec (not ally), while the + stands for other related identities. (I'll get into more detail on each letter in future posts.)

Queer, which was formerly only used as a slur against it, has been reclaimed by most of the community; it refers to anyone whose sexuality, romantic orientation, gender identity, and sex isn't "typical", therefore it is "strange", "odd", "queer". (I'll do another post with Queer as a specific orientation and gender identity.)

Finally, gay stands for anyone who feels attraction towards the same gender, usually exclusively, and it's used especially in reference to gay men (although there are other terms exclusive to gay men, which I'll get to, again, in future posts.)

That's all! Have a great day, and hopefully I'll see you in the next post! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

NFL Dallas Cowboys Snow Flower Tree Ugly Xmas Sweater

Britain and France have a combined population not much over 1/3rd of the US, and Rugby Union is very much second fiddle to Football (soccer) in both countries. The big clubs typically draw 15,000 fans to a NFL Dallas Cowboys Snow Flower Tree Ugly Xmas Sweater, but can pull 50,000+ to a different stadium for a special occasion, whilst the biggest NFL teams are pulling 70,000+ average crowds, so there is less money playing rugby as a result. The England national team sell out their 82,000 seat stadium every game and could probably do so 3 times over for the biggest clashes — club rugby is not the peak of the game, but it’s where the bulk of a player’s income is made.

When I was quite small, my family were Jehovah’s Witnesses. My big brothers remembered their Catholic beginnings, they remembered magical Christmases.

Maskot

Maskot, bir spor takımı veya şirket gibi bir grubu veya organizasyonu temsil eden bir karakter veya semboldür. Maskot genellikle marka tanınırlığı oluşturmak ve temsil ettikleri grup için bir kimlik duygusu yaratmak için kullanılır. Maskota örnek vermek gerekirse; Philadelphia Phillies beyzbol takımının resmi maskotu Phillie Phanatic’tir. The Phanatic, 1978’de Harrison/Steve Moyer adlı bir adam tarafından yaratıldı ve tasarımı o zamanlar popüler olan “Fuzzy” karakterlerine dayandırdı. Kendine özgü yeşil kürkü, uzun burnu ve büyük ayakları ile tanınan Phanatic, beyzbolun en tanınan ve sevilen maskotlarından biri haline geldi. Phanatic’in maskaralıkları ve gösterileri onu hayranların favorisi haline getirdi ve hatta Maskot Onur Listesi’ne girdi.

His career was a tour de force! He was born Wilton Norman Chamberlain on August 21, 1936 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Biography reports. Widely regarded as one of the greatest basketball players to ever live, like many celebrities, Chamberlain is as big a myth as he was a man. Attending Overbrook High School in Philly, he got his start on the varsity team and scored more than 2,000 points! Clocking in at 6’11”, he physically and mentally dominated other teen players on the court, with many of his nicknames coming from his overpowering stature. Names like “The Big Dipper” sit well with Chamberlain, but there were others he hated like “Wilt the Stilt,” a name given to him by a local reporter covering high school games. At his full height, Chamberlain reached a whopping 7’1” tall, and he was recruited heavily by several top colleges. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Wilt Chamberlain (@wiltchamberlainofficial) In 1956, he made his college basketball debut, playing for the University of Kansas, subsequently leading the team to the NCAA finals in 1957. While the team lost that game, Chamberlain was named “Most Outstanding Player” of the tournament, making the all-American and all-conference teams the next season. He had a gap year between college and the NBA due to their offi...
