Zidane Explains…Sort Of…
Thanks to “Italiano” for the link from Sport Illustrated about Zidane’s interview on French television.
French soccer star Zinedine Zidane apologized for head-butting an Italian opponent during the World Cup final, saying Wednesday that he was provoked by insults about his mother and sister.
“I apologize, to all the children” who watched the match Sunday, Zidane said in his first, highly-awaited comments about the act of violence that marked the end of his career.
Zidane did not specify exactly what Italian defender Marco Materazzi said that enraged him, but that it was insulting to his sister and mother.

No no no no no.
Not an apology, a half-a** non-apology.
“I want to apologize to them but I can’t regret what I did because it would mean that he (Materazzi) was right to say what he said.”
I’ve got the more explicit article at my blog. Everyone is reading the wrong article.
