I think there is more to this. There are reports that he (Zidane) and his teammates were on the receiving end racial slurs from some of the Italian players. But I don't see how that could be since Europeans are so much more cultured than us brutish Americans.
What is really sad for the Italian is that he was knocked down by a Frenchman. What really shocked me about the World Cup final is when France went up 1-0 in the first 8 minutes. I thought for sure the Italian fans would jump ship and join the French.
Zidane was a dumbass for doing it. I'm not saying that it wasn't cool to see a soccer player show some balls. It was. But he knew he would get carded. Was it worth losing the tournament?
