- "You are the son of a terrorist whore"
- --OR-- "I wish and ugly death for you and your family, and go fuck yourself"
Materazzi's response to all this is just stupid. He says "I am ignorant, I don't even know what an Islamic terrorist is". Ya, right. The whole world has known what Islamic terrorists are since at least 1979, with many other parts of the world (like Israel) having first hand experience well before that, so don't give me that crap that you don't know what one is.
Reading the BBC article, though, you get the distinct impression that some people are more upset about what Materazzi may have said than they are about what Zidane actually did. What if Materazzi did call him a "son of a terrorist whore"? So what? Should he be disciplined? Perhaps. But only if his punishment does not exceed Zidane's. After all, Zidane's actions were far, far worse than any mere words that Materazzi may have used.

Testosterone, testosterone, testosterone. How many men out there haven't said something really didn't mean and later regreted in the heat of competition? BFD, made it more interesting. The media and everyone else who got in a huff about this, needs to take a deep breath, the world still turns. My two cents.
Did or didn't mean, makes no difference to me, I still say "so what". Guys taunt each other all the time (girls, too, for that matter, and probably much worse if my daughter and her friends are any indication).
What I found most interesting in the article is that it seems more people are actually concerned with what the Italian dude said and not what the French dude did.
