farting in your general direction

lip reading the italian mid-fielder who provoked zidane. sounds like enough to put a proud man over the edge. i could imagine someone like pele brushing off a rascist slur, especially considering the relative importance of a world cup final, but i cant hold it against zidane for acting out. meanwhile 80% of the french team were black whereas i did not see one person of color on the italian team. dont know if this just means france was a colonial power while the italians were still disunited, or if italy isnt very hospitable to black people.

oh yeah, the theme of this particular world cup was 'say no to racism.' looks like someone didnt get the memo. viva italia!
