Boston, MA - Area man Charles “Chucky” O’Connor repeatedly slammed Club América for being, “un-American,” during a verbose Instagram Live post on Thursday.
Stating, “Yo, that shit isn’t from here,” O’Connor ranted on Instagram Live about the Mexico City based side for allegedly not being American after discovering the team existed via a Facebook post by a friend of his during the Club América v Monterrey Liga MX final.
“American teams are in AMERICA,” ranted O’Connor to his cellphone as he paced in front of the couch of his one bedroom studio in Mattapan. “You can’t call a team that plays in Mexico a name like Club America. AMERICA ISN’T MEXICO, BRO. MEXICO ISN’T, AMERICA, THE UNITED STATES ARE AMERICA. It’s in the name, ok? This is some stolen VALOR shit, man. Imma find these guys and crack some heads for the USA.”
According to researchers, Club America was founded in 1916 from two separate teams. The Mexico City side was named by player Pedro Quintanilla who suggested América as the team formed on anniversary of the dia del descubrimiento de América (day of the discovery of America).
For his part, O’Connor was resolute in his righteous anger as he slammed anyone who could let this travesty happen.
“This is why no one watches soccer, man. I’m going to go back and watch the Pats play to make me stop thinking about how angry this makes me.
The Nutmeg News will have more on this as good friend Grady Williams tags O’Connor in a highlight video post on Facebook of all Club América goals from 2019.
