Union aim to extend unbeaten run, take on Crew
The undermanned Philadelphia Union aim to extend their franchise-record MLS unbeaten streak to 12 matches on Sunday night when they visit the Columbus Crew. HT Image Bruno Damiani's 10th-minute penalty kick proved just enough as the Union recorded a 1-0 road victory over the Chicago Fire on Wednesday. Philadelphia has strengthened its position atop the MLS table by virtue of its 8-0-3 mark over the last 11 matches. Damiani, who joined the Union for a club-record fee in February, is expected to contribute given that striker Tai Baribo is nursing a calf injury. Baribo leads the Union with 13 goals, including one in his club's 2-2 draw against Columbus on May 10. In addition to Baribo, Quinn Sullivan, Nathan Harriel and Jakob Glesnes will be out for the Union on Sunday. Sullivan and Harriel will be competing with the U.S. men's national team in the Gold Cup, while Glesnes will serve a one- match suspension for yellow card accumulation. Frankie Westfield is dealing with an ankle injury and Olivier Mbaizo and Mikael Uhre have adductor injuries and are expected to sit out on Sunday. "We don't have almost half the squad," midfielder Jovan Lukic said, per the Philadelphia Inquirer. "But I think everybody is doing an amazing job. Everybody is ready for these kinds of moments, even the guys who don't have too minutes this season." Columbus' Jacen Russell-Rowe scored two of his team's three first-half goals in a 3-1 home victory over the Atlanta United on Wednesday. Rowe scored in the 32nd and 42nd minutes while making his first start for the Crew , who have won two in a row overall and sport a 6-1-4 record at home. "If you remember the games that we played, we had many chances at certain moments and we score," Columbus coach Wilfried Nancy said. "The game is about cycles. Sometimes we cannot explain. Sometimes we can struggle to score an easy tap-in, and sometimes we can score really complex goals. This is football. "The most important for me is to be able to attack the box as many as possible. The fact that we're able to do that, I'm confident for the rest." Columbus' Daniel Gazdag, however, remains in search of his first goal since being acquired in April. He is the Union's all-time leading goal scorer. Field Level Media This article was generated from an automated news agency feed without modifications to text.

Columbus' Rios, Mater's Rosario, Doral's Milano are Dade 7A-5A Baseball Players of the Year
Columbus' Mathew Rios, Mater Academy's Alfrin Rosario and Doral Academy's Gabriel Milano - all seniors - all shared a common trait during their respective high school careers. Each often found a way to deliver when their teams needed them most. For their accomplishments this season, the three earn the Miami Herald's Miami-Dade Baseball Player of the Year honors. Rios and Rosario share the honors of being the Dade Co-Pitchers of the Year for Classes 7A-5A. And thanks to a prolific bat and strong defense, Milano is the Dade 7A-5A Player of the Year. Rios, a South Alabama commit, was the clutch ace at the top of Columbus' rotation once again this season. An already deep pitching staff, Rios went 8-3 and struck out 70 in 66 innings pitched while maintaining a 1.27 ERA. For two seasons, Rios pitched in the biggest of games for the Explorers and led them back to the Class 7A regional semifinals after another 20-plus win season. Unfortunately for Columbus, its bid to reach the state final four fell short for the second year in a row in that round thanks to West Broward. 'I'm very happy with the way the season went even though I wish we could have made it to Fort Myers,' Rios said. 'Hopefully in college, I'll have the same success I had in high school. I'm eager to compete and prove to everyone what I can do.' Rosario filled a similar role for Mater Academy both on the mound and at the plate this season, leading the Lions to their first state championship since 2014 and second ever. He compiled a 1.51 ERA and struck out 71 batters in 60 ⅓ innings while hitting .380 with five doubles and 15 RBI. Rosario, who will play at Western Oklahoma this fall, closed out the final inning of Mater Academy's state title-clinching victory against Fort Myers and gave up only one run in 6 ⅓ innings while striking out seven in a state semifinal win against Wesley Chapel. 'It was a dream (winning a state title),' Rosario said. 'I hadn't won one, but it was worth it finally happening my senior year to wrap it all up.' Milano won't have to go too far to play his college ball as he has signed with the University of Miami. Milano showed what a versatile infielder he could be with great defensive skill and a prolific bat. Milano had a career season at the plate, hitting .520 with 11 home runs, 13 doubles and 42 RBI to lead the Firebirds to the Class 6A regional finals before losing to eventual state champions Fort Lauderdale St. Thomas Aquinas in the decisive game of a best-of-3 series. 'It was a rough ending, but I'm proud of the boys and everything we were able to accomplish,' Milano said. 'The program at Doral is special and top notch and I learned so much from my coaches there.'

Politics based on grievance has a long and violent history in America
Recently, President Donald Trump declared that he is 'bringing Columbus Day back from the ashes.' He hopes to make up for the removal of commemorative statues important to 'the Italians that love him so much.' But Columbus Day had not been scrapped or reduced to ashes. Although President Joe Biden issued a proclamation for Indigenous Peoples Day in October 2024, on the same day he also declared a holiday in honor of Christopher Columbus. Nonetheless, Trump posted in April 2025, 'Christopher is going to make a major comeback.' By using Columbus' name, which means 'Christ-bearer,' a president who covets the praise of faith leaders yoked the explorer to his campaign promise: 'For those who have been wronged and betrayed, I am your retribution.' By reasserting the importance of Columbus, the president took a stand against the toppling and vandalism of statues of Columbus. In this case, his act of retribution for his supporters focused on the holiday, which he could declare more easily than returning icons of a fallen man to empty pedestals. Trump's statement invoked the politics of grievance – a sense of resentment or injustice fueled by perceived discrimination – that have characterized his actions for years. The list of targets for his retribution, which have included Harvard University, elite law firms and former allies he believes have betrayed him, now exceeds 100, according to an NPR review. As a historian of early America, I am familiar with how grievance marked the colonial era. Throughout this period, grievance fueled rage and violence. Europeans who arrived in the Americas following Columbus' 1492 journey claimed the territories in the Western Hemisphere through an obsolete legal theory known as the 'doctrine of discovery.' Spanish, English, French, Dutch and Portuguese rulers, according to this notion, owned portions of the Americas, regardless of the claims of Indigenous peoples. This presumption of ownership justified, in their minds, the use of violence against those who resisted them. In 1598, for example, Spanish soldiers patrolling the pueblo of Acoma in New Mexico demanded food from local residents, whom the colonizers saw as their subordinates. The town's inhabitants, believing the request excessive, fought instead, killing 11 Spaniards. In response, the governor of New Mexico, a territory almost entirely populated by Indigenous peoples, ordered the systematic amputations of the hands or feet of residents whom the soldiers thought had participated in the attack. They also enslaved hundreds in the town. Roughly 1,500 residents of Acoma died in the conflict, according to the National Park Service, a response seemingly driven more by grievance than strategy. English colonizers proved just as quick to deploy extraordinary violence if they believed Native Americans deprived them of what they thought was theirs. In March 1622, soldiers from the Powhatan Confederation – composed of Algonquian tribes from present-day Virginia – launched a surprise attack to protest encroachments on their lands, killing 347 colonists. The English labeled the event a 'barbarous massacre,' using language that dehumanized the Powhatans and cast them as villainous raiders. An English pamphleteer named Edward Waterhouse castigated these Indigenous people as 'wyld naked Natives,' 'Pagan Infidels' and 'perfidious and inhumane.' War began almost immediately. Colonial soldiers embraced a scorched-earth strategy, burning houses and crops when they could not locate their enemies. On May 22, 1623, one group sailed into Pamunkey territory to rescue captives. Under a ruse of peaceful negotiation, they distributed poison to some 200 Native residents. By doing so, the colonial soldiers, driven by grievance more than law, ignored their own rules of war, which forbade the use of poison in war. Even among colonists, grievance promoted violence. In 1692, residents of Salem, Massachusetts, believed their misfortunes were the work of the devil. Their anxieties and anger led them to accuse others of witchcraft. As historians who have studied the Salem witch trials have argued, many of the accusers in agricultural Salem Village – modern-day Danvers – harbored resentments against neighbors who had closer ties to nearby Salem Town, which was more commercial. The aggrieved found a spokesman in the Rev. Samuel Parris, whose own earlier failure in business had led him to look for a new path forward as a minister. Parris' anger about his earlier disappointments fueled his indignation about what he saw as inadequate economic support from local authorities. In a sermon, he underscored his financial irritation by emphasizing Judas' betrayal of Jesus for 'a poor & mean price,' as if it was the amount that mattered. The resentful residents and their bitter minister fueled the largest witch hunt in American history, which left at least 20 of the accused dead. The most obvious forerunner of today's grievance-fueled politics was a rebellion in the spring and summer of 1676 by backcountry colonists in Virginia who battled their Jamestown-based colonial government. They were led by Nathaniel Bacon, a tobacco farmer who believed that provincial officials were not doing enough to protect outlying farms from attacks by Susquehannocks and other Indigenous residents. Bacon and his followers, consumed by their 'declaration of grievances,' petitioned the local government for help. When they did not get the result they wanted, they marched against Jamestown. They set the capital alight and chased Gov. William Berkeley away. Bacon succumbed to dysentery in October, and the movement collapsed without its charismatic leader. Berkeley survived but lost his position. The rebellion has become etched into history as a violent attack against governing authorities that foreshadowed the 2021 assault on the U.S. Capitol. When President Trump invokes alleged insults to one community to satisfy the yearnings of his followers, he and his allies run the risk of once again stoking the passions of the aggrieved. Acts of grievance come in different forms, depending on historical and political circumstance. But the urge to reclaim what someone thinks should be theirs can lead to deadly violence, as earlier Americans repeatedly discovered.

Belen, Columbus, Carrollton coaches are Dade Track and Field Coaches of the Year
It had been close to two decades since the Belen Jesuit track and field team had won a state championship. Longtime rival Columbus hadn't waited nearly as long to win a boys' title, but didn't want to share the crown this time. And for Carrollton's girls, it was a brand new experience when they stood on the top step of the podium for the first time ever. The coaches of those three programs all led their respective squads to state championships this season. And so, Belen's Victor Arrieta, Columbus' Danny Areces and Carrollton's Dylan Hermelee are this year's Miami Herald Miami-Dade County Track and Field Coaches of the Year. Hermelee wins the Girls' Coach of the Year honors after leading Carrollton to its first team state championship. For Hermelee, it's his second coaching honor within the same school year as he was also the Dade Girls' Cross-Country Coach of the Year this past fall after leading the Cyclones to a fourth-place finish at state. There was no settling for anything short of first place in track season, and every point was needed. With a group of nine competitors overall which was led by individual state champions Arianna Garcia and Grace Aldrich, Carrollton edged Montverde Academy by half a point to capture the Class 2A state title. On the boys' side, Arrieta and Areces split the Boys' Coach of the Year honors. Arrieta led the Wolverines to their first state championship since 2007 as their squad found the balance needed to edge some of the state's best teams in Class 3A. Arrieta had watched prior Belen teams come close, but just short to a title in recent years as the Wolverines finished second in 2021 and 2023. Belen's distance runners, led by Tiago Socarras and Marcelo Mantecon, propelled the team to the top spot. A season after sharing the team title, Areces helped guide the Explorers to an outright victory in Class 4A. Columbus' sprinters such as Alec Cruz, Shaddai Carter, Bryce Fitzgerald and Zamarion Lawson, under the guidance of veteran coach James Hardwick, led the way. But the Explorers' depth in the field events with top performers such as javelin state champion Remington Goins made a huge difference.

Replica of Columbus' flagship docks in central London
The Nao Santa María, built in 2018 by Spain's Nao Victoria Foundation, is open to the public, offering a rare glimpse into the Age of Exploration. Measuring 28 metres in length, the replica recreates the look and structure of a 15th-century carrack, combining historical design with modern safety adaptations. Visitors can step inside to explore the crew quarters, captain's cabin and cargo holds, where displays detail its transatlantic voyages and reveal the harsh realities of life at sea during Columbus' time. The ship remains in London until 8 June.
