West Ham forward Michail Antonio has responded to questions about the disgraceful behaviour of team-mate Kurt Zouma by asking a question of his own.
See below as the Jamaica international speaks to a reporter from his car, and fails to really address the issue involving Zouma and his viral videos showing him abusing his pet cats.
Antonio insists he’s not condoning anything that Zouma is done, but made the important point that there have been some high-profile cases of footballers who got away with racist abuse and carried on playing for their clubs after only a short ban from the team…

Zouma continued to play for West Ham this week, making David Moyes’ starting line up against Watford.
The Frenchman has since been fined, with the money set to go to animal charities, while his pets have been seized by the RSPCA.
Difference being,
he could have killed the cat.
For an animal that has the reputation of having nine lives, I don’t think he could have killed it.
And being racist towards another person could of killed them, forced them to commit suicide, no difference
Typical PL footballer reinforces the opinion that the only thing in their lives that matters, is their self importance.
Typical answer from a black man, play the race card.
You are a racist too I guess.
if truly it’s got nothing to do with Zouma’s race why are they blowing it out of proportion?
The lad was fined, what else?
We all make mistakes but cancel culture got us all acting self righteous. smh
He is right but the racist should be treated more harshly , but cruelty no matter who the victim is should definitely be made an example of.
Footballers are definitely role models for young children and need to realise racism, cruelty and any unacceptable behavior needs to be dealt with harshly, don’t let kids think you can act any way you wish because your in a privileged position.
