Iran censored the teats of the
symbol of Rome, the she-wolf who suckled Romulus and Remus,
during its coverage of Wednesday night's Champions League match
between Roma and Barcelona.
The symbol, part of Roma's emblem, was blurred out over the
offending parts of the animal.
Social media was quick to react, with one post saying "3,000
years ago Romulus and Remus were deprived of their mother's milk
but Iranian state TV even deprived them of the she-wolf's milk".
Another post said the Iranian public was likely to find the
wolf's teats "saucy".
Rome Mayor Virgina Raggi said "we are proud of the symbol
that represents our city".
