Materazzi Probably A Big Racist

So, what did Italian defender Materazzi say to football God Zidane to make him charge headfirst into his chest? Well, French anti-racism group SOS Racism had the following to say:

"According to several very well informed sources from the world of football, it would seem that the Italian player Marco Materazzi called Zinedine Zidane a 'dirty terrorist'."

And what does Materazzi have to say? "It is absolutely not true, I did not call him a terrorist. I'm ignorant. I don't even know what the word means."

It’s a tricky one. I want to believe Materazzi, but unless he’s been locked in a bunker for the last 5 years I find it hard to believe he hasn’t heard the word “terrorist” before. A bit of digging also brings to the surface an incident which took place last year, one which perhaps indicates that the Inter Milan defender isn't exactly chomping at the bit to stamp out racism.

On November 29th, Inter Milan played Messina in Sicily. After an hour of deafening racist abuse from opposition fans, Messina defender Marc Zoro (from the Ivory Coast) had had enough. He picked up the ball and made towards the officials. Inter players Adriano and Obafemi Martins ran over to intercept him and according to Zoro were “very kind”, telling him “not to let it provoke” him. One player was less helpful...

Materazzi allegedly shouted: “stop that, Zoro, you’re just trying to make a name for yourself”. Zoro “didn’t... argue with him” saying “I’ve no intention of lowering myself to that level.”

Bearing in mind that these pictures also make him look a bit racist, I think it's fair to conclude that he's a big turd. As such Materazzi should be punished. Suggestions welcome. Something involving his chest, a tireless man with a bionic head... and maybe an ice pick would be good.
