But Toure upset him by basically telling him that he doesn't have the right to talk about the Zimmerman issue as he hasn't been in the US long enough. And that got Pier's back up. As much as I dislike Piers, he has a right to be pissed off at that statement. Then Toure critised him on giving a softball interview to the Zimmerman brother.

What did Toure Expect? I saw that as dumb. Sorry. T'was dumb and then it just turned to testosterone and egos which given the backdrop of the tragedy, was more selfish than I can stand.
