You hurt my feelings
By VictorM:Get out of bed any morning and you're bound to be insulting someone (in their minds). The latest comes from a Turkish lawyer who claims that the jerseys worn by Inter Milan's football (soccer) team reminded him of the Crusades and as a result he "felt profound grief in my soul.”
Inter Milan says that they purposely did not wear that jersey when they played in Turkey, but felt that they had the right to wear it at home in Milan.
And the explanation for Inter Milan's jersey design?
Inter officials also pointed out that a red cross on a white background is the symbol of the city of Milan. Many Italian football clubs incorporated the cross on their shirts, including Inter, founded in Milan in 1908.... Inter officials said Uefa [European Federation] had approved the new Inter strip at the start of the season, and the Turkish club had also accepted it before last month’s game.By the way, Inter beat the Turkish team 3-0. So, and in addition to punitive damages, the lawyer also wants the game annulled.
Somehow, I smell a sore loser more than someone suffering from the feeling of “Western racist superiority over Islam.”
