Didier Zokora Exacts Revenge on Racist Emre, By Kicking Him in the Nuts

All, Soccer, Video Ty Duffy May 8th. 2012, 3:32pm

Turkish midfielder Emre was banned two matches in April for calling Ivorian midfielder Didier Zokora a “dirty n—-er” in a Turkish league match. Their teams met again. Zokora exacted his revenge, which, incredibly, only earned him a yellow card. Emre – who had not one, not two, but three racist incidents in less than four months while playing in the EPL for Newcastle – had it coming. [Video via 101GG]

Emre has had two “see look I’m friends with a black person” press conferences. Two of them.

Also wondering what Zokora had to do there to get a straight red.

What could earn a red card? Probably something along the lines of ripping his balls off, or just straight murder. I’m guessing anything else would have gotten a yellow.

Well, if Nigel De Jong can do this and not get a straight red, I think it should be the bar with which everything else is judged.

Awesome should never be used to describe any kick to the nuts. It make me very uncomfortable.

Only thing worse than a racist is a racist who is too cowardly to admit that he/she is one. This idiot has had 4 incidents of racism yet continues to deny deny deny deny deny deny. Atleast have the balls (no puns intended) to admit who you really are.
This message also goes out to the Tea Party and about 70% of Republicans.

I am lacking in sympathy for Emre. He’s a repeat offender who brought it on himself.

Bullshit it isn’t. If I ever get in a fight there will be no “rules” that I’m playing by. I will do whatever it takes to whoop the other dude’s ass. Just like if some crazy bitch comes at you with a weapon of some kind. You can be damn sure I’m knocking her the fuck out without one thought about not hitting a chick.

Brush usage represents a typically weak-minded “Takers” reliance on the produce of others.

I follow Turkish football very closely. First of all there are a couple of things wrong with this article – it wasn’t dirty n—- , it was f—ing n—– that was the words that were used.
Secondly, the ban was for insulting Zokora. If it had been for racism he would have received a much heavier ban.
The problem in Turkey is that in the last few months the Turkish FA have been making some absolutely ridiculous decisions, which have all been in favour of one particular team – Fenerbahce, who Emre plays for.
Among these decisions is a decision to ban one of the Fenerbahce directors for attempted match fixing, while not punishing the club, because (and this is the literal phrase they used) “it was not recorded in the minutes of the meeting of the club board of directors that he should try to fix the match”!!!!!
This match fixing thing is the reason Fenerbahce were kicked out of this season’s champions league. And EFA are currently looking into it very closely. And the result of the match fixing (several matches in fact) was that Fenerbahce won 16 of their last 17 games last season and pipped Trabzonspor to the Turkish championship on goal difference. So there is a lot of bad blood between the clubs.
What made things even worse, was that a lip reading expert was called to testify as to what was said, and his report was leaked as having confirmed the racist comment. Despite this, Emre was still only punished for insulting language rather than racism.
So, while I cannot excuse Zokora’s behaviour, it is possible to understand it. He is trying to get justice in his own way, because it is obvious he is not going to get it from the Turkish football authorities (hence possbily the reason the referee did not send him off, as it could have caused a riot).
