ROME: Italian football clubs on Thursday slammed a renowned sports daily's front page as"unacceptable" and"terrible" after it used"Black Friday" in a headline in reference to Romelu Lukaku and Roma defender Chris Smalling.
The club's chief strategy officer Paul Rogers told AFP the choice of headline was"terrible" although the article itself was"positive". "The intention of the newspaper article was actually positive but this headline has totally overshadowed the anti-racist message contained within the story," Rogers said."Unfortunately, as we've seen on social media, more people will see that ill-judged headline on the front page than read the actual article and it creates new issues at a time when we are all trying to tackle the issue of racism in Italian football.
Inter Milan said"football is passion, culture and brotherhood. We are and will always be against all forms of discrimination."
