Top 5 disturbingly unforgettable events in the world of sports

Life is a perpetual drama. Full of vibrant colors in a moment, dark, sad and shady on the other. Sports is a perfect depiction of life’s definition and it covers all of life’s elements viz. money, career, happiness, grief, death and more. As human beings we are full of emotions and nothing is better than ‘sports’ at brimming them up.

People fight in the stands, behave reckless on the field, cheat, take erratic steps to win – sometimes sports itself turns crazy. Here we take a look at some of the controversial events on the contrasting shades of sports.

Zinedine Zidane head butts Marco Materazzi:

Zidane Headbutt

Zinedine Zidane, the iconic midfielder of France and Real Madrid, was involved in a ramming ‘headbutt’ incident in the final of FIFA World Cup 2006 held in Germany. The insane occurrence took place due to the provocation of emotions from the Italian defender Marco Materazzi. The France’s maestro said in post-match talks that the insult Materazzi offered was very personal and concerned his mother and sister.

The finale became more of an action movie drama than a sports encounter. Zidane was immediately sent off in the last match of his jeweled career of achievements with a low bow in front of 69000 fans. It was a shame to see one of the greatest players of the game to show such an impulsive and unethical behavior on the field.
