Raheem Sterling Finally Speaks Out, Accuses Newspapers Of "Fueling Racism" by Georgry(m): 12:56pm On Dec 09, 2018 |
Raheem Sterling used social media to criticise the coverage that black players receive in the media after he was berated by Chelsea supporters in Manchester City's 2-0 defeat at Stamford Bridge on Saturday. Chelsea and the Metropolitan Police launched an investigation in order to establish whether Sterling was racially abused in the incident, with the club vowing to take the "strongest possible action where necessary". The England international posted a message on Instagram along with pictures of newspaper articles regarding Manchester City team-mates Tosin Adarabioyo - who is on a season-long loan at Championship club West Brom - and Phil Foden, pointing to the different way in which the media covered the duo choosing to buy houses for their parents. "I am not normally the person to talk a lot but when I think I need my point to [be] heard I will speak up," Sterling wrote." Regarding what was said at the Chelsea game, as you can see by my reaction I just had to laugh because I don't expect no better. "For example you have two young players starting out their careers. Both play for the same team, both have done the right thing which is buy a new house for their mothers who have put in a lot of time and love into helping them get where they are. "But look how the newspapers get their message across for the young black player and then for the young white player. I think this is unacceptable, both innocent, have not done a thing wrong but just by the way it has been worded. "This young black kid is looked at in a bad light. Which helps fuel racism and aggressive behaviour, so for all the newspapers that don't understand why people are racist in this day and age all I have to say is have a second thought about fair publicity and give all players an equal chance." https://www.foxsportsasia.com/football/premier-league/994412/sterling-hits-out-at-media-coverage-of-black-players/amp/ 15 Likes

Indifference.... Embittered people with low self esteem, always struggling to fight what God made perfectly, invariably black are strong and they would one day rule the world. Africans one day would retain the world power. 38 Likes |

Oyibo people and racism. Like cake and icing What's funny is that both the English national team and Chelsea has a lot of black players, Kante even scored yesterday. Who will expect anything less from Chelsea fans, even in Nigeria, they are urchins of the society. Every loud tout, gambler, aro bagger and bandit is a Chelsea supporter Causing noise and shouting like uneducated fools every where with their dirty worn out slippers and Micheal Essien jersey Always ready to fight and attack someone who disagrees with them. 74 Likes 6 Shares |

For those who think white guys care about the blacks are only deceiving themselves. Blacks are like sh*t to them and they have never and will never genuinely care about your existence... Ask Trump! They only need blacks to test new drugs and carry out inhumane tasks. Blacks remain a monkey to them regardless of their position.... Ask Eto'o Gadaffi tried to explain to us and make us forge our own cause but no, the whites used fellow blacks to kill their own.

I just finished reading this on BBC Sport website. it is a pity that the English Press is the fuelling factor for racism and discrimination. Meanwhile, I was also very happy that England were knocked out in the Semis by Croatia 14 Likes |

He is right. My question is why would the skin clour of a human being automatically trigger a bias in the subconscious of another human being. . I think racism ,tribalism and what have you, should all be classified as mental disorders. 30 Likes 1 Share |

Sometimes I wonder why the media and fans berates sterling so much. since he left Liverpool for man city, they have always been attacking from one end to the other. Thank God he has a huge mental strength even at a young age. yesterday event he was just smiling at them at the corner flag while they poured out their hate. sterling is one of the best in the Epl, even better than the penalty Kane yet he get singled out by the media for any small thing 12 Likes |
