1. Materazzi is a victim because he was in the receiving end of an assult. Had it been on the street with witness around Zidane would be in custody or having to bail himself out.
2. There are 100s of games each year that have players using unwanted choice of words. So FIFA is going to investigate one match and not the others? That is double standard and in court that does not stand a ground. FIFA has to investigate all games that has "he said, she said" alligations.
3. Racism is never right, on the field, this has been going on for ages, in every league. Until FIFA takes necessary steps (inclusion of technology), this will continue. Nothing we can do about it until that happens.
4. In sports we all know verbal battle is a test of mental strength. Things are said which is not meant. If someone slurs about an ill mother who is in hospital then he/she need to take appropriate action. Not take up law into his/her own hand. Even in real life we should not lose our cool. If you do that you can not be a plaintiff, you will become a defendant. The consequence of being defendant is not good.
That should answer all your questions.
