Media persecution of Raheem Sterling

And you know for definite because ... ? Too many people throw the racist card about but there is nothing to suggest that in this case its a contributory factor as to his persecution at this moment in time.I`m NOT interested as to whats happened in the past with something that happened 13 years ago and to bring it up is absolutely fooking stupid and bears no relation to this topic of Sterling being persecuted because of his skin colour.

When the daily mail are involved it's a fair enough assumption imo.

Pure speculation but I`m still awaiting confirmation of proof from our so called "experts" on this matter.

What do you want, a policy confession from the editor of the Express?! No paper would be stupid enough to afford dissenters 'proof' of something like racism, so readers can do nothing but speculate and base that speculation on the factors that have already been put to you, ie political tenor, the paper's readership, cumulative examples of similar articles etc etc.
I don't think racism is the primary motivation for the current Sterling witch hunt in the Star, the Sun and the Fail either (the profits generated by clickbait are), but similarly if you're telling me that those 'Johnny Foreigner hating' publications' hatchet jobs on Sterling aren't motivated by racism or an intention to reinforce a racial stereotype to some or other degree, then I think that's as naive an opinion as the one held by those who see racism as the papers' primary motivational factor. Of course you could always end the debate by producing some categorical evidence that racism isn't at play here....... ;-)

None of these stories would of happened if he stayed at Liverpool (or more importantly the rags). The FA wants all their favourite English players at certain clubs.

I certainly do not advocate people giving this gimp any grief on Twitter:

Could someone post this latest odium please? I refuse to go anywhere near their paper or links. They've obviously had success with clicks from those haters from other clubs so nothing will stop them unless they're stopped. I don't care how mentally tough you are, this constant, repetitive, crap, day in, day out will take its toll. It needs action on some front. They make me sick.

Well said Blue.

The headline summarises the story. Says Raheem's house is close to a dogging hotspot. Big news, obviously.

Star makes up some shit about there being a dogging hotspot near Sterling's new house. Doesn't say how near (or where) of course, just a quote from some nameless nobody saying they like to do it on car bonnets, and, er, that's it.......

All anyone has to do is Google "dogging in Cheshire' and I guarantee that no Cheshire resident lives more than two miles from a site
Someone posted a link on here a few years ago
It's amazing what's on your doorstep

I have yet to meet a Daily Express reader who isn't a racist.
