Italian Cross Incorrect
We read:
“A Turkish lawyer is taking legal action against Inter Milan, the Italian football team, for wearing a strip with “Crusader-style” red crosses that he alleges is “offensive to Muslim sensibilities”.
Baris Kaska, a lawyer in Izmir who specialises in European law, said that he had lodged a complaint in a local court against Inter Milan, which last month played the Istanbul team Fenerbahce in a Champions League match at the San Siro stadium in Milan. The Inter players wore a new strip – a white shirt with a giant red cross on it – marking the club’s centenary.
Mr Kaska said he was not only seeking damages but was also appealing to Uefa to annul the match, which Inter won 3-0. “That cross only brings one thing to mind – the symbol of the Templar Knights,” he said

The soccer team is “Inter” of Milan (there is another big soccer team in Milan and its name is “Milan”, and they play in the same league).
I would really like the UEFA fold to the muslim’s requestest.
The reaction of the fans would be very “uncivilized”.
I think I just found a “football” team to support.
the muslims cannot possibly win this case. if they do, europe is doomed.
