not defending the idjit Zouma in anyway, but have you ever seen a proper nasty cat kick off.
If all the cats ganged up on us, we'd be screwed.
and there is the suitable punishment, 5 mins with a couple of ferile feline.

Kids,tired of being bothered by your pesky parents?
Then leave home, get a job & pay your own bills, while you still know everything.

Antonio has always liked a deflection

There is an increasing tone in the commentary around Zouma that if he was white this would not be such a story. This was being pushed by someone on Question Time tonight.

Cats aren't dumb unlike some of the owners.

More fuss being made about Zouma playing after the cat thing than Brighton playing Bissouma.

Responsibility Deficit Disorder is a medical condition. Symptoms include inability to be corrected when wrong, false sense of superiority, desire to share personal info no else cares about, general hubris. It's a medical issue rather than pure arrogance.

What fallout?? He played for West Ham that evening. He mentions players being accused of racism and getting an 8 game ban. Zouma has received no kind of ban. In what way has the reaction to Zouma been disproportionate?

As always, you latch onto racism when it's not the point - take racism out of the debate and the point still stands.

He's been dropped by his sponsor adidas, 3 club sponsors of West Ham have ended their affiliation with the club, a £250k fine.

In the Premier League currently you have a player who's killed someone while drink driving, a few sex offenders, at least one rapist and countless other examples of disgusting behaviour, and you don't see the same response.

That's my only point - it feels over the top, and Antonio happened to use racism as his yardstick.

Pay a quick visit to Twitter on the Zouma affair and you will see that there are plenty of folks on there introducing the Race Card and accusing '' Whites '' of being behind the petition to take action against him.

I'm not buying that. I don't care about the race of the offender or what they do for a living. It was just plain wrong.

I think if Moyes had dropped Zouma from the Watford game, that might have been the beginning of the end of the affair. Instead the fallout has worsened.

Any club run by the Dildo Brothers and Brady is unlikely to show any class, but I expected more of Moyes and I think he's misjudged the situation.

Old, Ungifted and White

I would argue that whilst you have a point in terms of what is tolerated that merely adds the notion that football is utterly corrupt and beyond saving. I am not a football fan but rather a Palace one and have nothing but contempt for the institutions, and the wider culture it has created, around the sport.

But cruelty to animals is a sign of a person being toxic. They need shunning and it speaks of a far deeper malignancy in a persons attitude. Which I believe is reflected in the wider revulsion.
