The World Cup is important, but refusing to let a racist get away with racism is even more important.
that's true, in the abstract at least.
I love Zidane for choosing his anger against racism and respect for himself and his people (and all of us who suffer from racism) over victory and glory!
but he could have waited a few minutes to express his anger and thus could have fought racism, pushed for respect for himself and his people, _and_ won victory and glory. in any event, do you think he "chose" anger? I'd guess that he simply engaged in a knee-jerk response.
