This is maybe even dumber than the sudanese teddy-bear case. Here's a Wikipedia article, notice the flag of Milan, the same is on Inter's shirts.

I think this lawyer is probably extremely mentally ill

#1 -- That is the greatest uniform in sports history.

#2 -- It's silly to claim that one wouldn't immediately connect it to the Crusades.

That's it? As much as church attendance has gone down in Europe, the cross is practically everywhere on flags, buildings, and such.

Nobody's forcing them to watch it or complains about the good ol' crescent and star.

Then again, there are always small groups of people that are against everything. This lawyer seems to be a part of those small groups.

 

[Arwon]

That's... pretty bizzare.

On the other hand, maybe there's a crazy lawsuits niche in Turkey he's trying to fill.

I've decided this man is a true capitalist entrepreneur.

 

[JollyRoger]

This is as bad at the Christian nutjobs that get offended when a store clerk says "Happy Holidays" to them.

All I could say have been said before...

 

[philippe]

nope. Ajax:

 

[Methos]

Sounds like he's angered at the outcome of the game and found a way to pick up some cash.

He is seeking damages, and is appealing to Uefa to annul the match, which Inter Milan won 3-0.

What about F.C. Parma then? their shirt looks exactly like the emblem of the Teutonic Order (Ordo domus Sanctæ Mariæ Theutonicorum Ierosolimitanorum, "Order of the German House of St. Mary in Jerusalem")

And guess what, Parma's nickname is "i Crociati" (The Crusaders)

EDIT: Here, Compare a Parma Player and an Reenacted Teutonic Knight

They're getting their azz-es sued once Turkey is in the EU.

 

[useless]

so doesnt this mean every strip with a cross on it is influanced by christianity and should be sued? Don't muslim countries have strips with the islam symbol on them?

 

[Babbler]

We should stop worrying about offending crazy people; they will be always offended.

In fact, they offend me.

 

[emzie]

I have to say that uniform does remind me of Knights Templar.

yeah, look no further than that.

But it's kinda sad that silly lawsuits are beginning to plague Europe too.

 

[warpus]

I'm offended that it reminds me of England.

 

[Masquerouge]

I'm offended that it reminds me of England.

Well the good news is... we won't be seeing England for a long time now

 

[Leonel]

How eerie. Yesterday I bought and watched Kingdom of Heaven and played Medieval War 2 as Milan.

 

[Cheezy the Wiz]

I should think the French monarchy and the Pope would be more angry with a football team looking like TEMPLARS (NOT CRUSADERS) than a Muslim would be. After all, they're supposed to be heretics!
