Sterling accused of letting down black players

[aguero93:20]

We must have a game tomorrow..


Raheem Sterling's defence of Bernardo Silva last weekend, went down badly with a number of black Premier League players, who felt let down by the Manchester City forward's description of the controversial post as not racist. [@MailSport]

Kick It Out share their frustrations but have sympathy for Sterling's position given his relationship with player and manager, and the fact he was speaking about a nuanced subject on live television immediately after City's 3-1 win at Everton. [@MailSport]

Fuck them with a sharp stick.

I bet Sterling is devastated being accused of letting black people down by the White supremacist neo-Nazi Daily Fail.

Is anyone accusing John Barnes of also letting black players down, didnt he say the exact same thing as Raheem, in that its not racist.

Black players in all four divisions have nothing but admiration for Raheem, because hes been the only one to speak up about the racist press
in this country and in Europe.

I think raz might,that is why they are doing it,they had to stop abusing him when he stood up about racism,they can't wait to get back to pulling him down again

Ah, but we are in the midst of the shirt colour conundrum! If a blue shirt utters, yer pilloried; if a red shirt confirms then it's fine!

Yes they are. Duncan Castles launched into John Barnes. Said he was damaging his reputation by defending Berhardos tweet saying it wasnt racist. Anyone supporting Bernardo is getting it in the neck. If they're white they're being called racist , if they're black they're said to be 'ill-advised or 'letting down 'their' side or some other watered down criticism . The reporting is more racist than the initial post by Bernardo

Why cant this be in the media thread? Another shite thread started for no reason.

Lets enjoy the football, ignore the detractors and keep the shite to the shite threads.

Its getting tiresome to come on the forum nowadays.

I now it a novel idea but I dont open threads if I dont like the the headline.

Duncan Castles ha ha ha, lets not go there mate pls.

Journalists. Mostly white, well educated and middle class.

Granted the 'race' agenda includes the above section of our society and media but it's not exclusive to them plenty of other groups playing the race card. Some probably think that the current Brexit climate is the best thing that could have happened to push their political agendas

Yes hated to say he was a journo, no doubt better media reps are having a pop as well
