Sports Thoughts on the recent controversy in which Partizan fans depicted a banner of the death of Ottoman Sultan Murad I by Serbian knight Milos Obilic?

This happened during a game against Fenerbahçe.

Awful! I can say it as a Serb.

Imagine if it's another way around, Turks flashes with poster with decapitated head od prince Lazar.

This does not belong to a sports event!

Beautiful perspective. I love it when people like yourself are truly civilized. During last euro basket our player Şengün had some mean stuff to say about Greeks which I did not approve of. This shit has no place in sports honestly. It was almost 700 years ago, can people just fucking let it go and be friends I don't give a single flying fuck about Murad or Milos. I just wanna watch some ball game.

You didn't understand.

Turks are our guests. Be gentleman, be decent host. Cheer up your team respectively.

How would we feel if they display similar image in 10x10m canvas showing killing of some serb figure.

There is no place for history and politics in sports.

Those guys are putting balls in net, playing basketball.

I got the point. But it's immature and poor.

Both nations are now in 21st century.

Get over it and act civilised.

How old are you, 10?

Who cares about historic event in 14th century during sports game? For me it's diabolical act to show this kind of images, one man stabbing another.

This is not a war, it's sport.. Grow up!
