Wasn't "you must control your temper!" something one of the teapots said to the beast in beauty and the beast? I wish Zidane had remembered that this afternoon. Depite the political din that surrounds the French, I got nostalgic and was so hoping that one of my favorite players would have been able to finish his career with a bang. I didn't expect that bang to be a head-butt in the chest of the Italian player. Who says anger isn't a sin? It was almost painful to see Zidane absent from the penalty kicks and from the subsequent award ceremony where he would have led his team out as the captain. As his absence filled my tv screen, all the very public, shameful, and sinful responses I've had in anger throughout my life started popping up in my mind like that wack-a=mole game at theme parks and I just wanted to cry for Zidane. Who knew that the world cup would be a reminder to me of the cost of sin.
