As with a lot of things it will come down to money. If pressure is put on sponsors and they start pulling out because of it then West Ham will get rid. As we saw from his selection last night if they aren't forced to do anything they won't.

Punch a horse; resign hunt membership, lose job, get charged - Former primary school teacher denies punching and kicking horse in Leicestershire

Drop-kick a cat; still get picked for your team as it's about getting results. Sums up football's morals nicely.

They're both about acts that ended in harm to a living creature. Both about where a footballers career goes after being convicted so not really.
The Jimmy Carr thread was about offense and freedom of speech.

You'd have been better comparing the reaction to this thread to another one about harming another living creature.

For example the Sarah Everard thread, I'd say you're more worked up on here than on that thread so you must value cats over women (see, we can all play the silly reach game)

Voluntary post and still waiting to go to trial. Couldn’t find anything in the story about why she left teaching. In fact it doesn’t look linked

I think you'll find I was consistent on my views with the Everard case too. I mentioned it here as a supposed funny based on your responses but once again you've taken it in a different way. I used to think you were one of the more sane voices of reason on here, but lately seem to be argumentative for the sake of it.

I don't think for one minute you care about cats more than humans, which is sort of my point.
You've used this cat incident to try and make some sort of point about people you disagree with on the Jimmy Carr thread and to Me there is no connection between the two and no point to be made.

It's not being argumentative, its calling out what I consider to be silly bollocks.

The Trust sacked her Pete -

Primary school teacher sacked over video of woman kicking and punching a horse

The Cottesmore Hunt said a "thorough internal investigation" had meant a "follower will not participate in trail hunting" with them.

For years and years, when I come home from a city match, my wife has said “do I have to hide the cat?” Assuming it would get a kick if we’d lost. Not sure where she/we got that expression from…

weirdly, we don’t even have a cat…

I suppose the logic is a teacher's in a position of moral authority and responsibility, whereas nobody expects that of a footballer.

Not sure I agree particularly (footballers surely still do community work, are a face for the club etc), but that's where we're at, isn't it. It's why King could be signed, whereas he'd have never got a job as a social worker... you'd hope(!)

There is a good interview with Gordon Strachan knocking about where he talks about the myth of football morals

Hope they can find a loving new home.

Not much of a punishment for Kurt Zouma though. Can't imagine he's that arsed if he's happy to harm them.
Hopefully a big fine/generous charitable donation will follow. Don't think the police will do anything

Zouma's been fined and asked for it to be donated to animal charities
Adidas has dropped his sponsorship
Vitality have suspended their sponsorship of WHU
Online petition calling for his prosecution has 100,000 signatures
RSPCA has taken the cats into care
Emotional West Ham fans are calling TalkSport to say they've put their scarves in the bin
Chris Kirkland went on BBC Breakfast to say it was worse than racism

How many more days of coverage do we think we can get out of this one?

Would be funny though, if some huge bloke came along, dressed as a cat and drop-kicked Zouma down the road.

Nothing but a sick bastard. As for being sorry, he's " sorry" simply for being caught, as happens to so many people when their actions are made public.

Exactly. The fact they all seemed to think it was a big joke and a bit of a laugh and he hit his cat in front of his children, probably doesn't even point to a one off does it.

He's only sorry he's been caught.
