This question is open to anybody who wants to answer it, but I'd also like to hear what the French think about it.
I know that Chirac didn't say Zidane was right headbutting another player on the pitch -- he actually didn't talk about the incident at all. However, he only had words of praise for Zidane.
"You are a virtuoso, a genius of world football," Chirac said, according to The Associated Press. "You are also a man of heart, commitment, conviction. That's why France admires and loves you."
Do you think he was right, considering that he is the President, a spokesman and an example for a whole nation?
No doubt Zidane is a football legend and he deserves praise for his talent, but isn't sportsmanship equally important?
