New mantra for Italian soccer: Sticks and stones (and headbutts from French midfielders) will break our bones, but words will never hurt us ... unless we're Neopolitan soccer fans.Maybe the folks at UVA knew what they were doing when they banned signs from their sporting events. Italian soccer team Inter Milan was ordered to pay 1,500 euros to a fan who suffered "existential damage" from signs debasing Napoli for its well-documented trash problem. Among the signs: “Ciao cholera sufferers!” and “Neapolitans have tuberculosis.” Zing.
If thin skin can grab some cash for those weak insults, can you imagine the kind of paper schools would have to cough up for signs like the one shown here?
More to come from the NFL opener and the rest of the sporting world tomorrow.
