However, according to BBC, which hired an Italian lip-reader, Materazzi said "I wish an ugly death on you and your family," and then told Zindane to go fu** himself. He also allegedly made some veiled sexual reference to Zidane's wife. Not much fallout so far. All of Zidane's major sponsors here (including Adidas and Danone) are standing by him and he was received and praised by Chirac yesterday. As the focus starts to center on what Materazzi said, sympathy for Zidane will only grow here in France, particularly if the remarks were racist or bigoted in nature.

Give 'em Hell, Cougars!!! Religion rises inevitably from our apprehension of our own death. To give meaning to meaninglessness is the endless quest of all religion. When death becomes the center of our consciousness, then religion authentically begins. Of all religions that I know, the one that most vehemently and persuasively defies and denies the reality of death is the original Mormonism of the Prophet, Seer and Revelator, Joseph Smith. |
