Zouma has now been punished enough

West Ham have fined Kurt Zouma two weeks' wages and he's had his cats taken away by the RSPCA. He has lost his Adidas contract and is going to get booed at every away ground and quite possibly by his own fans. It was a mistake to play him on Tuesday, but he's now been the subject of national front-page humiliation after his brother (not the brightest button in the box) posted that video on Snapchat. Plus Zouma might also face legal action. 

Young-ish men sometimes do stupid things and David Moyes claims it's out of character from the big man. If you read the court of twitter he should be banned from football forever. But there's a need for some perspective here. His actions have not been without consequence. Zouma needs educating in how to treat animals (and there's nothing the British react more to than being cruel to pets) but he also deserves the chance to prove that he can learn from his mistakes and become a better man.

Seems to have calmed down a bit down now. Zouma was stupid but talking of sacking him was always way OTT.
