Bitching
They were talking about Zidane's headbutt in the papers again today. Mostly about how the 3000 Euro fine's spare change to a multi-millionaire footballer. Crap.
I guess if that logic follows, if Bill Gates gets caught littering, he should be fined something like 12 million dollars.
Or conversely, they could fine Zidane 100,000 Euros, which is something like a week's wages for him. Then what happens if some player who plays in a lower division, drawing maybe 5000 Euros monthly headbutts someone in 2010? Fine him 100,000 Euros? If not, where's the equality?
Punishments shouldn't be meted out based on the individual's standing, but on the offence commited.
