r/soccer seethes over Dalot's "colonialist" tweet

The now deleted tweet:

There are moments that last forever, and being on this call-up will be one of them. We will carry the history of Portugal with us.. We are from a land that explored, discovered, conquered and spread its culture to the 4 corners of the world.

This has somehow led to a 1200 comment thread full of sneeding.

Imagine having pride in your country, couldn't be me

Protugal glorious colonizations, massacring all the natives in Brazil. Frick you Dalot.

He forgot to add the genocide of natives, raping and murdering.

“We committed genocide and enslaved people from all over the world, frick yeah!”

Colonisation and genocide....its a b-word huh?

Ah. Buttholes and bring proud of their evil colonial blood.

Western Europe is truly shameless

Portuguese people and glorifying our colonial era where we massacred and enslaved countless innocent people, name a better duo.
