Raheem Sterling: Man City fans banned for racist abuse

Man City supporter Ian Baldry made a comment when the forward scored because he was "excited".

You can't just pretend there's no racism in the fanbase by telling everyone it's all online, or all post-2008 fans.

I'm absolutely not claiming there's not a race problem within our pre-08 fanbase and it's an issue within every fanbase.

I'm not trying to make a distinction from our pre and post 08 fanbase. Plenty of people support us after the takeover and have a genuine connection to our club. But we also have a section of that support who have no connection to the club, who feel entitled to success and have no qualms abusing our players when we lose a game.

Sell him while he still might be worth something.
Pathetic again today with his 1st half miss and the 2nd half break where he failed to release it.
As a senior player he contributed nothing to try and effect the result.
He has no idea any longer and after a performance like that and Peps pre match comments, he is done.

You simply have to get used to it unfortunately. They will only disappear if City go back to being average again.

Sterling is currently copping a load of racist abuse on twitter from so called blues. Disgusting

Depressing but sadly predictable. Seems to be happening to a different player every week, and really needs to be clamped down on by the social media companies.

Think Sterling just needs a goal and he’ll start to regain his confidence. Nothing’s coming off for him at the moment and he looks a shadow of his former self. Can’t see him starting on Wednesday, but hopefully he can have a positive impact from the bench. Certainly wouldn’t write him off though. Form is temporary, and all that.
 
He needs to go back on the right and get back to basics. Nobody is fooled by his cut inside move. He refuses to use his left and it just makes him easy to deal with. Rotate him RW and either have Ferran or Bernardo play LW or play Jesus there when not using Foden

He was poor today, as were many others.
Nothing wrong with saying he was poor/shit but to get racial abuse over a game is not on.
Same for all footballers, sportsmen, women etc..
fucking scum the lot of em.

The problem is people can't talk about a performance. There have been lots of posts on here after the game that are abusive of Sterling as a person, and not just criticising a footballing performance.


Just look at this thread. Its not enough for people to say he played badly today (or this season), they have to escalate every time. He's shit, can't kick a ball, can't shoot, can't pass, can't run properly, has no intelligence, he's weak mentally, he's just a tap in merchant. Then people escalate again - he was never good, he was always shit, I never liked him and I got dog's abuse for pointing out he was shit. And then that progresses the personal abuse calling him every name under the sun. He's a ****, sell the fucker, he's weak, he'll be lucky if [insert relegation candidate] give him a job. I can't believe he wants a new fucking contract (even through the club has approached him not visa versa)

And that's part of the problem. Because when you normalise this personal abuse over a game of football as acceptable on a forum, or twitter or instagram then someone's always going to take it further, whether it's because they think they'll get away with it because it'll get lost in all the other abuse, or because they want to show they're the most angry.
