French soccer star Zinedine Zidane apologized for head-butting an Italian opponent during the World Cup final, saying Wednesday that he was provoked by insults about his mother and sister.
“I apologize to all the children” who watched the match Sunday, Zidane said in his first comments about the act of violence that marked the end of his career.
Zidane did not specify exactly what Italian defender Marco Materazzi said that enraged him, but that it was insulting to his sister and mother.

^I don't like the title of the news story: it should read that Zidane apologizes to the viewers, but not to Materazzi
Re: Materazzi (merged)
At a lunch in honour of Les Bleus, President Jacques Chirac reserved his warmest comments for Zidane: "Dear Zinedine, in such a hard and intense moment for you, I would like to express the entire nation's affection and admiration for you. You are a virtuoso, a genius of soccer and an exceptional human being. You are also a man of heart, commitment, conviction. That's why France admires and loves you."
aww how sweet of him
P.S. materazzi seems like a spoiled filthy scum..and his father seems to support the filth how ironic
