To quote Ian McKellen in The Da Vinci Code; “The French can never be trusted…”Nice one. We know what the french are like, they don’t let things go until change happens. Very passionate people.
I just don’t get why you’d kick a cat? Something a child might do once or twice before learning it’s not right, Zouma is what, 28? Utter moron.
Despite what Moyes and their club statements said they scored a big PR own goal here. The reaction continues to be negative towards them.I bet West Ham board are furious with sponsors now pulling out.
The abstract thought:West hams solution a 2 week fine donated to animal charities.
Vitality has suspended their sponsorship of west ham and Adidas has dropped zouma as a client.
Well done on them, and shame on West Ham.
I agree, there’s only one punishment to fit this crime…The constant outcry for jail time and him losing his job is just ridiculous now.
Antonio from West Ham has not helped there with what he said today.A lot of people are now trying to turn it into a race issue and say if it was somebody like Harry Kane, there would be no punishment. What an absolute load of sh*te.
I am even seeing people bring up the incident where Hazard was sent off for kicking the ball from under the boy ball.
What a bunch of morons.
Antonio didn't start it though. It was Kirkland who said what Zouma did was worse than racism. Antonio is not using race to back up Zouma, all he's saying is that racial incidences haven't carried this much outcry or punishment e.g to be sacked.Antonio from West Ham has not helped there with what he said today.
Fair point. Racism should be punished harder than it is.Antonio didn't start it though. It was Kirkland who said what Zouma did was worse than racism.

at this point i'm starting to think the cat set him upMy mum has 3 cats and I have a dog. We are massive animal lovers and only donate to animal charities, not human ones (there are enough of us in the world). However, this is getting a bit OTT now. He's been fined 250k, cats taken away and endorsements suspended. That's a fair punishment for abusing a cat that wasn't killed or injured. The constant outcry for jail time and him losing his job is just ridiculous now.
People are missing the point by a huge margin. Antonio and everyone else mentioning racism are not saying that whats happening to Zouma because he is black. Nothing to do with that at all. If it was Declan rice it would've gone down the same path which is, regardless of what colour their skin is, why is racism in football not taking as seriously as animal abuse?I'm not sure it is racism just think it is a growing line of virtual justice warriors with their own narrow determined view of human conduct with probably some jealousy thrown in.
they are full of sh*t. those same people have been pretending for years that George Floyd was a good man tooUnfortunately more and more things are popping up that the reaction to Kurt is only due to the colour of his skin a day if a white person had done it no one would have cared apparently.
Commonly seeing Hazard kicking the ball boy, Suarez fined for racism, McGuire being convicted of assault and none of them lost sponsorship so the racism brigade are saying the reaction is either because more people value a cat than human lives or because the other 3 were not black
