Sports: Leave it to the French

They take this 'no-hands' thing in soccer a bit too far...



Seriously? Leave it to the French to immortalize poor sportsmanship. As you few and faithful readers may be aware, I'm all about sportsmanship. Now this is far from being a cockblasting that was unleashed at this years Olympics, but I would wager just as disgraceful.

For those of you familiar with soccer, you are already aware of Zinedine Zidane and his notorious '98 World Cup headbutt. For those that aren't (Americans) please feel free to watch here and listen to the feeble excuse the announcer gives, but take it with a grain of salt and bare in mind the World Cup Finals, are like Super Bowl except it's not just American's going apeshit, it's the entire world going apeshit over a sporting event.

Again, a Frenchmen was losing a internationally televised sporting event and could not handle the fact that their might be someone out their that is better. Notice a pattern? No? Me either.

One would think the country being represented would be embarrassed by this, but on the contrary. They are not only proud but have immortalized the chickenshit head-butt as a bronze statue in front of the Paris' Centre Pompidou. And here I thought that statue of Rocky infront of the Philadelphia Art Museum was the dumbest shit ever. THE FRENCH WILL NOT BE OUTDONE!

So here we are, they've gone from making statues of Lady Liberty to making ones of  Headbutt McScowly? Let's say it will be about, ten years until Nicholas Batum has his statue erected infront of the Louvre? I have alot more to say on this, but am just at a loss at the moment. But hey, if our country hadn't done anything to be proud of since the Renaissance, we'd be grasping at straws too.

Just picture it in bronze.
