Zinadine Zidane. What a great way to get non-religious people talking about what it means to be sorry, about ethics and ideals and about the radical teaching of Jesus, breaking the circle of violence. Here's an article which frames the "sorry/not sorry" paradox starkly, and here's an excerpt of the interview (translated into English) where you can better appreciate what he's saying, but which still begs some questions: is he merely apologizing for someone else's wrongs -- I'm sorry he provoked me to the point where I had to respond with something inexcusable?
A fascinating tangle.
I wonder if they sell Zindane dolls for the backs of Citroens... you know, the kind with the heads on little springs so that they bobble menacingly back and forth? |
