Is Zinedine Zidane a Leader?

If leadership is influence, who do you want to follow? How does society acknowledge leadership, what it is, how leaders influence others... not to mention "condoning" the acts of bullying?

"WORLD governing body FIFA was embroiled in controversy last night after it named Zinedine Zidane the player of the tournament less than 24 hours after he was sent off in disgrace for head-butting in the final."

I know the Italian guy probably said something horrible to him to freak him out... but I hold Zidane to a higher standard as the captain of a World Cup contending team. Nothing justifies his behaviour in my opinion. Nothing justifies his behaviour, and no amount of talent justifies FIFA's decision to name him "The Player of the Tournament" and reward him for his play. The game is about more than just dribbling the ball and scoring a goal, it is about honour and sportsmanship, on and off the field.
