West Ham’s star youngster Kurt Zouma filmed kicking and throwing things at his cat (Current events 2)


 

Hello everyone !
Today’s post would be about another promising footballer, namely Kurt Zouma, who plays for West Ham United in the Premier League. He has been filmed kicking, slapping and throwing things at his cat and the video was then posted on social media – Snapchat. He was also chasing the cat around the kitchen, while the person who was filming it (Many people say it was his brother) was laughing and having fun of that. Zouma, who is currently 27 years old, was also throwing sneakers at the cat while it tried to run away. People think he was doing this because he was angry at the cat because it made a mess in the house, but I don’t see any mess in the videos! His brother then said that “It seemed that Kurt got angry at the cat for accidentally smashing some sort of vase and tearing down a light fixture from the kithcen cupboard. But what he does next is completely unacceptable. Kurt kicks it, throws shoes at it and then slaps it. The poor cat looked so scared.“ (Shennan, 2022). The video can be found here: https://news.sky.com/video/the-video-of-west-ham-footballer-kurt-zouma-abusing-his-cat-12537440. After the video went viral and people started talking about it, Zouma uploaded a video on his social media where he was apologizing and saying that he regrets these actions and that he would never do it again. He was also apologizing to all the people he could have made upset because of that video, and he assured that the cat was perfectly fine and healthy. His former club, West Ham United stated „We have spoken to Kurt and will be dealing with the matter internally, but we would like to make it clear that we in no way condone cruelty towards animals.“ (West Ham, 2022). However he was not dropped out of the squad for next matches like Mason Greenwood was (from the previous post). So, I would like to ask you guys a question, do you think he should have been punished somehow? In my opinion, it is completely same case like Mason Greenwood’s, maybe even worse, because the poor animal couldn’t even resist. Animals love us and we should love them, and I am strongly against being violent on animals, so I hope Kurt Zouma will never do that again and that he learned from this and would never be cruel again.

Famous football young star Mason Greenwood was arrested over accusation of rape assault and domestic violence against his girlfriend (Current events 1)

Hey everyone,

I am writing this post to let you know about current event that is happening about the young football star Mason Greenwood, who was arrested because he was accused of rape assault and domestic violence against his girlfriend. The charges were published early Sunday (End of February 2022) on Instagram, where videos, pictures, and a voice note appeared to show Greenwood and a lady conversing. Since then, the social media post has been removed. All posts that his girlfriend posted on Instagram, which were deleted, you can find here: https://twitter.com/i/status/1487739365321228290. The girl showed many photos of her body with bruises, and also a short video of her face covered in blood, she claims that it was all done by her violent “boyfriend” Mason Greenwood. After speaking to the detectives and the police, Greenwood was released on bail and since then he kept extremely low profile and refused to talk about the issue in public. His former club, Manchester United, removed him from the squad right after he was arrested, but fans found out that he was still on their website, so the club stated: “We removed his profile from the club app soon after he was removed from the squad in January. This was in order to remove Mason from interactive elements of the app, such as predictions etc. However, his profile was never removed from the website as he remains our player, albeit not currently part of the squad while the legal process unfold.” I think that it is important that the fans do want him to be completely kicked out of the club, same as Nike, his partners did, they cancelled his contract and they do not want to be connected with him anymore after these disgusting events. It is important that he gets punished, so that the people and his fans would not take an example from him and would avoid doing this, because it can have bad consequences, like getting kicked from the club or from the contract with Nike. What do you guys think about this ? Should the club also remove him from their website, since he is still their player, but it is not likely that he will ever play for them again in the future, after it is all over. Let me know in the comments down below!

Violence in the sports


Hello and welcome to my blog! In this blog, I will be talking about the violent issues that happen in media of sports. In the past, I have seen many stories and tragedies in the media that happened in connection with famous athletes, mostly with footballers (soccer players) and American footballers (I am interested in both footballs, so I read the news and all the stuff about it, so that is why). As I am interested in these sports, and I do not like violence in any means, I want to dig deeper into the problems that are happening there and that media covers. My aims are to show you what is happening in the lifes of athletes, how they can be cruel and also how it might affect other people, especially teenagers. I think that it is important because violence in sports is a disgusting thing and I think that public needs to know about this and the people doing this should be punished, so the people, mostly their fans, could see that this is not right and they should not follow their heroes. I hope you will have a great time reading through my blog and I am looking forward to your comments!
