It's going to happen.
Chris Packham said in R5's Nicky Campbell show this morning that he's been asked by Essex Police not to comment about their investigation. Can only be one reason imho .... not to prejudice a prosecution.

Comparing Biss's investigation to Zouma/Greenwood/Goodwillie:
Zouma - the evidence of illegal torture is there for all to see, no dispute.
Greenwood - audio and photos of the incident and aftermath have been published.
Goodwillie - the civil case judge Lord Armstrong discredited the evidence of the rapists and found the evidence of the victim "compelling" and “Both defendants took advantage of the pursuer when she was vulnerable through an excessive intake of alcohol and, because her cognitive functioning and decision‑making processes were so impaired, was incapable of giving meaningful consent; and that they each raped her.” Goodwillie had his day in court, which the judge assessed as "My general impression was that, particularly in relation to his assessment of the pursuer’s condition, his evidence was given with a view to his own interests rather than in accordance with the oath which he had taken".
Bissouma - at this stage, only the police and parties involved know the facts. No one should judge.
Adidas on Kurt Zouma: “We have concluded our investigation and can confirm Kurt Zouma is no longer an adidas contracted athlete.”

I take the point about social media, but part of the stuff about all this is that Zouma has not been charged with anything either...... Although I believe the RSPCA has now taken his cats away.
Even Greenwood hasn't been charged with anything by the police / CPS yet !
If it was me - for anything like this I'd not be playing any of the players - and if you remember Dunk was still playing / around the squad with his troubles, even after being charged and waiting to go to the High Court. So like I keep saying we need to be careful not to be to 'outraged' by other clubs actions

I said to my animal-loving daughter last night, who was gutted by West Ham's $$$$ stance, that Zouma will pay a heavy financial price with the loss of his boot contract for starters.
This imho is an example of corporate image/social media pressure working well. Well done Adidas

Difference here - there's clear video footage of the torture.
So everyone knows he's a criminal abuser, regardless of whether legal action takes place.

I’ve got a feline he’s gonna get away with it
You said there appeared to be more “fuss” over Zouma than Greenwood.
I’m simply explaining why coverage of the latter HAD to stop after a few hours - it’s now an active legal case.

Yep.
Once Greenwood was arrested which was in quick time, discussion and internet chat about his case, was deleted or curtailed. Redcafe for example deleted a huge thread, whilst media outlets dropped all mention except robotically reporting he was being interviewed and then bailed.

I don’t often bother with these, but, 240,000 and counting.

Think he’s finding out what a nation of animal lovers we are.
I reckon he’ll move abroad, guess Korean League would be his dream move…?!

He’s getting a bad press in France too both from legal authorities and a huge charity focusing on animal welfare.
Wait till the Animal Rights mob start on him!
