On February 8, a video of the current West Ham United player and former Chelsea defender Zouma abusing two pet cats went viral on the Internet. Under the pressure of public opinion, Zuma came forward to apologize and ensured that his cat was healthy, but still could not prevent the incident from fermenting.

Zuma was fined about 250,000 pounds for 2 weeks, and the sponsors terminated their cooperation with West Ham United, which is a heavy loss.
