Because Inter Are The New Knights Templar?


News that a Turkish lawyer is suing Italian football club Inter Milan for wearing a kit whose shirt resembled a red cross on a white background which would be considered ”offensive to Muslim sensibilities” as these shirts apparently recall the Crusades. Not just suing the club is enough for this gentleman, he's also seeking to overturn the results of Inter's match with Turkish side Fenerbahce as well, which is when the Italian club wore the new shirt. Have to wonder why the St. George's Cross flag hasn't come under more scrutiny by this point in time. The rest of the story of this PC-world gone mad, from the London Times, is HERE, a pic of the new strip is on the right, photo by Marco Bucco.
