All the above mentioned sportsmen did much worse things than Ostberg and they didn't get kicked from TV broadcasts.
I think that a fine of 1000E is OK, but suspending 25 points seems to much. Just my opinion.
Zidane got red card immediatelly, which is the biggest punishment you can get in footbal as a player and it severly hurts the team.

Østberg got a tiny fine, nothing else as long as he doesn't repeat it this year.

It again illustrates my point perfectly, Zidane got red car cause it was not alright (over the line) and he never did that again afterwards.

No they weren't, prove it. WRC controversial interviews get recorded just like any others.

The language is what matters in this case, not the message. Again precisely the point, it's entirely possible to get the message across without using only swearwords.
