West Ham United's Michail Antonio questioned the logic of people asking for team mate Kurt Zouma to be"sacked" after a video emerged of Zouma abusing his cats, with the striker asking if what the Frenchman did was worse than those guilty of racism.
Jamaican striker Antonio said he did not condone Zouma's actions, but he asked why those guilty of racism have got a second chance to continue their careers after serving a ban while Zouma should lose his job. "But there's people that have been convicted, been caught for racism and have played football afterwards. They got an eight-game punishment or something like that, but people are now calling for people to be sacked and to lose their livelihood.
Former Liverpool striker Luis Suarez was banned for eight matches and fined 40,000 pounds for racially abusing former Manchester United defender Patrice Evra in 2011.
