22. Look at this picture.


<snip>
This is Bobby Despotovski, Bobby had a high profile year not only because his great soccer playing skills - but also because of his brilliance in making this hand gesture to his opponents fans.
As a result, riots occurred, and three people were injured. This achievement may have been overlooked in the Australian of the year award simply because it's hard to spell this guys name.

This dickhead gave a Serbian salute to enflame the passions of the ethnic Croatian fans on the other side.

This is worse than going into a crowded theatre and yelling "FIRE". There is a HUGE difference between free speech and incitement. People die in this shit.
