Iranian TV censors wolf teats on Roman football team badge

While AS Roma were being roundly beaten by FC Barcelona in the competition's quarter-finals last night, people watching Iran TV's third channel noticed that producers had blurred out a female wolf's teats on the club badge.

The team from the Italian capital's logo is the image from ancient myth of Rome's twin founders Romulus and Remus being suckled by the Capitoline Wolf.
...
"In 3,000 years, Remus and Romulus were only deprived of their mother's milk, but Iran's state broadcaster deprived them of even a wolf's milk," Denmark-based Iranian sports journalists Mehdi Rostampour wrote on his Telegram channel.

"People could have been provoked by the wolf's breasts!" said one Twitter user, while another mocked the producers' prudishness by claiming "We could have touched ourselves".
