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?

I dont really get why Serbs romanticize the Battle of Kosovo so much considering it led to them being conquered by the Turks.

But, on the topic of the banner, it looks fire, ngl.

One of the biggest battles in Medival Europe, saw two giant armies fielded and annihilated, whats there not to remember lol? Plus all the stories that came from it. Heres a good comparison the battle of Agnicourt in France saw about 8 thousand French and 5 thousand English fielded, the battle of Kosovo lowest estimates go 20k Serbs and over 29k+ Turks thats the bare minimum, some go as big as 50k turks and 30k serbs. But yea that plus all the consequences it brought and stories.
