I find that the act of zidane even though lacking in beauty was justified.
Racism in Europe is alarmingly increasing whether be it in Football stadiums or in every day life. Swastikas are becoming a normal sight in Soccer stadiums today. Insulting and attacking coloured players is becoming a habit. Even making monkey sounds and throwing bananas every time a coloured player touches the ball(Italy and Spain).. This is not acceptable anymore. Its really gone too far.And the newly ammmended FIFA sanctions against racist behaviour are a joke!.. Somebody had to come up and show that Enough is enough and this is what zidane did. Thank you for standing up for your honour and the honour of other minority players like you.
And for those who keep on saying: " He should have kept his cool , because its the Worldcup and his last game".. Do you not realise that the message your sending is simply: Its ok to let racist behaviour slip by , just because its the Worldcup?..Soon people will start finding their own excuses to let racism slip by... No , racism has slipped by already too much. Enough is Enough . I think Zidane made the strongest statement any player can make on the last game of his carrier: NO TO RACISM.
note: we will know in a couple of days what exactly are the "very grave" comments that matterazzi said when Zidane speaks out as he promised.
