Dirty TackleZidane is trying to sue a magazine writer who called him an advertising ‘whore’
Call Zidane's sister a whore and he'll headbutt you during the World Cup final, call him a whore and he'll take you to court.
In 2011, French humorist Christophe Aleveque wrote in SportMag of Zidane: “This guy is a advertising board with three braincells who cashes in on his image to an excessive degree. It is a form of prostitution. This guy is a whore.” Aleveque also added that Zidane is "as thick as a d**k." Zidane's first attempt at a defamation lawsuit was dismissed, but he's appealing, this time seeking just one euro in damages.
From SAPA-AFP:
Zidane, 40, told the appeal hearing the comments were “gratuitous and hurtful” to himself, his wife, children and parents.
“It is just not possible,” he told the court in a barely audible voice. [...]
Zidane is seeking a symbolic euro in damages, having dropped his initial demand for 75 000 euros ($100 000) damages to be paid to a charity of his choice.
The judge for this case: Marco Materazzi.
