Turkish Lawyer Wants Inter Milan To Forfit Fenerbahçe Win Because Of Big Ass Cross On Their Kit

When religion seeps into sports, it’s usually not a pretty thing (see: Ireland), and this is no different. Turkish lawyer Baris Kaska is petitioning UEFA to void Inter Milan’s Champions League win over Fenerbahce because Inter’s jerseys were offensive to his people. Man, we get nauseous every time we see the U of Oregon’s highlighter-yellow football jerseys, but you don’t see us suing-and we’re American!

The reason for the appeal is unusual: the celebratory shirt for Inter’s centenary worn by the team that night, and on several other occasions this season, offended many people in Turkey.

The shirt’s scheme saw a big red cross on a white background, a symbol of the city of Milan, and reminded many of an emblem of the order of the Templars, which is considered offensive in Islamic culture.

Honestly, we don’t understand why they have to go the lawsuit route. Why not just get Roberto Carlos to kill their asses with fireballs from his eyes?
