Surprise...surprise. We are all human -- and time, pressure, fatigue, or ill-willed words spoken to us always proves it.
Zinedane Zidane is a national hero in France. As one of the most renown "football" (soccer) players certainly in that country, and perhaps even in the world, he is credited for being the primary catalyst of France gaining their footing and being able to find themselves in Berlin this past Sunday for the World Cup final. He had some great plays; he simply showed up in a big way.
Even if you didn't watch the game (4 billion all over the world did), unless you're a recluse or haven't watched a snippet of news this week, you have heard about the head butt. As a matter of fact, just this morning there was an article informing us that several gaming companies have made, are making, or will make a game that derides and misaligns the incident for the sake of entertainment -- and of course, let's don't forget "cash flow" for these companies. One simple game already on the internet allows you to simply use keys on your keyboard to help Zidane head butt as many Italian players as possible. Okay, that's enough sensationalism for one day, don't you think? All for the might $!
Even though he has apologized, gotten penalized, and all that, it remains that human heroes just can't match up to our expectations in the end, IF we expect them to be god-like. There is only one true God -- and He's the same yesterday, today, and forever.
