It’s not spot on at all it’s blatant whatabouttery to try and deflect attention away from his mate. If that had been a player at a different club he wouldn’t of said anything.I think Antonio is spot on.

That's what he has been angling at ever since the thread started, just hasn't outright said it. It's ridiculous.If a white player booted his cat you don’t think the country would be up in arms?
Do you think this is because he is black?

He should be sacked and never set foot on a football pitch ever again.What do you think the punishment should go up to? Based purely on the video.
Not surprised in the slightest.They discussed this on Question Time tonight. Strangely didn’t hear any of the audience describe it as a ‘flick’.
That interview was a disgrace, why bring racism into something that has nothing to do with racism?
I understand what he's getting at but you can be dismayed at both. It's not one or the other.
If there was a video (so the wider general public can see it) of a footballer blatantly being racist I'm sure it would get a much bigger reaction
You could just admit he was wrong and leave it at that, not try to compare it to every other crime that was committed. Why even bring anything else up, it’s really not relevantNot surprised in the slightest.
Kicking a cat seems to have generated more controversy than a raping a woman.
Does anyone remember Eden Hazard kicking that ball boy? Do you remember his fine? What length of prison sentence were people calling for? Petition? Sacked? Newsnight?
It’s worse because Kurt Zouma is black. We have football fans booing their own players for making an anti-racist gesture.. of course they are going to boo a black player who slapped a cat. “Throw the book at him”
I see our very own Melted Morrissey Bernie Slaven has jumped on the band wagon.. didn’t the RSPCA get called on him for his peacocks? Pretty sure I remember a big sign being painted about him bothering lapwings with his dogs too more recently.
Doesn’t count though right. Birds and people are not cats and white footballers are not paid too much or uneducated..
But it was fine when Chris Kirkland brought race into it..That interview was a disgrace, why bring racism into something that has nothing to do with racism?
What he has done was terrible, trying to dismiss it because worse things happen is an unbelievable take on it. What a complete idiot
Who said that was fine? I certainly didn’t. Why the constant deflection from the only issue that matters in this?But it was fine when Chris Kirkland brought race into it..
I could jump on the bandwagon and go completely over the top like everyone else.You could just admit he was wrong and leave it at that, not try to compare it to every other crime that was committed. Why even bring anything else up, it’s really not relevant
Really not even sure what point you’re trying to make here, but it’s very strange whatever it is
You don’t seem to acknowledge it. So I can only assume you think that it is acceptable.Who said that was fine? I certainly didn’t. Why the constant deflection from the only issue that matters in this?

You think it’s ‘whatabouttery’ to suggest that there has been an overreaction over Kurt Zouma? Everybody has to take the same extreme blinkered view. No room for discussion. just accept what the foaming at the mouth masses are hurling out.
Escalate! Exaggerate! High fives all rounds guys!!
More whatabouttery grow the hell up. Hazard didn’t kick the ball boy he kicked the ball from under the ball boy. Who was interfering in the game knew exactly what he was doing and wasn’t a complete innocent victim like the cat was.Not surprised in the slightest.

youve done nothing but deflect on this whole threadYou don’t seem to acknowledge it. So I can only assume you think that it is acceptable.
There is no constant deflection from me and there are a number of different issues that have come about as a result of the video going viral.
He shouldn't of been given the air time.That interview was a disgrace, why bring racism into something that has nothing to do with racism?
