Didier Zokora intikam



It’s the ever-too-common Player A uses a racial slur on Player B and Player B goes after Player A’s junk. Didier Zokora claimed that Emre Belozoglu used a racial slur when the two players’ Turkish clubs met in April. Belozoglu was suspended for two games for the incident. Zokora got his revenge Sunday when he came together with Belozoglu. I think the old saying goes something like “kicks with cleats will hurt my junk, but slurs will never hurt me.While Emre did admit to trash talk, he was adamant in his denial of any racial context. Nevertheless, he was slapped by the Turkish Football Federation with a ban of two matches. According to the BBC, the suspension could have been longer if the allegations had been proven conclusively.

Given his foul on Sunday, the two-match ban may not have satisfied Zokora. According to the Daily Mail, he refused to shake Emre's hand before the game. The video above shows that avoiding the handshake was a far gentler gesture than what transpired once the game began. Despite the vicious nature of the kick, Zokora received only a yellow card.
