Re: (3rd July) Picture of the Week Daniel Rocha wrote (in article <44a8aa37$1$4467$636a55ce@news.free.fr>): I may regret this Daniel, but why are the French so supportive of Zidane? I watched the game, and his behavior was abysmal. Short of pulling out a lead pipe and splitting his head open on the field, I can't imagine a worse example of poor sportsmanship. Plus, he has a track record of that sort of thing, so it's not like this is something new. And I don't care what Materazzi said or didn't say about him or his mother. Nothing verbal deserves that sort of response. Then we hear that all of France supports his behavior, and even that icon of integrity (cough) Chirac says "France admires and loves you". If they love that sort of thing, it says very little for the sense of sporting ethics there. -- Randy Howard (2reply remove FOOBAR) "The power of accurate observation is called cynicism by those who have not got it." - George Bernard Shaw Randy Howard
