Sure. Centering the views on the incident would be ideal. I merely attempted to level the playing fields seeing you felt the need to bring up Zidane's past record. A taste of own medicine hurts, I see.

I am not on a mission to prove Zidane innocent, nor am I an apologist on his behalf. I, along with millions of football fans, am simply appalled by what triggered this fiasco - something you are willfully being oblivious to. Getting on his nerves to unsettle him is an acceptable ploy. A little sledging or pestering is fine. But racial abuse like that is simply unacceptable, especially at the sport's highest level. I won't be surprised if all these supposed rumours turn out to be true, especially after reading earlier today that the victorious Italian team was greeted home this week by a senator who was overjoyed at his team's triumph over a team that consisted of "blacks, muslims and communists".

Alright, point made.
