C.W. Nevius.blog : Sorry, but Zidane doesn't get it
Zidane has many defenders. Sometimes, it's not about just yourself. However provocative Materazzi's comments, the consequences of Zidane's reaction were not just to himself, but to his team, his country, and all the fans watching. His reaction was selfish. But perhaps he's too good to "take one for the team". He says he's just a man. If he can't take the consequences into account before he acts, no, he's still a child. And if he did indeed take the consequences into account, that means that his own pride takes precedence over team, country, and "the children". How classy is that?
