What's pathetic about it? The FIGC is the legal body of calcio, and they set the rules.
There is, legally, no way we can put 3 stars on the jersey. What were we supposed to do, just keep the two, and be hypocrites? What happened is fine, in my opinion. We basically told them to go fuck themselves, and we will show them that we don't need no bloody stars in order to be great.
