Verdict Comes Down on Inter Banners: New Rules Are Flexed
Though they took their sweet time about it, Italian sporting judges have finally handed down their decision about the racist/regional-based abuse of Napoli supporters by Inter fans during the last round of games. (The abuse was mostly in the form of a series of large banners, but there were accounts of racists chants, as well.) As a result of the fan behavior, Inter has been fined €30,000 (Moratti is not pleased), and the upper part of the Curva Nord will be closed when Inter host Genoa on October 31, the first home game after the offenses took place.
