I have to question if you would have come to the same conclusion if Pogba or Lingard were the subject of discussion.

Media persecution of Raheem Sterling
- Thread starter Ric
- Start date
The media spend the last two international tournaments telling us what an absolute c*nt Raheem Sterling is and then on the other hand tell us he is a role model, which is it?
It's not the best thing to have tattooed on your leg but let's face it, if it wasn't the tattoo they'd have found something else instead.

Like crime in multi storey car parksYou are allowed your opinion.
I believe you are wrong in many levels.
Because i think such a tattoo,irrespective of his alleged intention,has far too many negative connotations.He is also,whether he likes it or not,a role model for thousands of influential kids who may portray it as glorification of gun culture.
He also knew the fallout/reaction such a tattoo would receive,and while it is entirely his choice and right to do so,i believe it's unnecessary,even inflammatory.
As i intimated,it's not the best decision he's ever made.
Don't agree, his tatoo will make no difference. I also believe that this role model thing is way over played
Had this not been plastered all over the media. No one would have have known
But that being said its his decision and is certainly not stupid or inflammatory

That's basically what the Sun is saying. Absolute bollocks.Because i think such a tattoo,irrespective of his alleged intention,has far too many negative connotations.He is also,whether he likes it or not,a role model for thousands of influential kids who may portray it as glorification of gun culture.

But Pogba and Lingard do not get relentlessly slaughtered by the gutter press, do they? I am also unaware that either of them lost their fathers to gun crime? Completely irrelevant comparisons. Raheem has once again done nothing wrong here, just like his breakfast, like his car, like his shopping, like his mums house etcI have to question if you would have come to the same conclusion if Pogba or Lingard were the subject of discussion.

It is not a subject of discussion.
It is an attempt by a certain section of the media which has its own editorial objectives. Almost subliminally convincing people like yourself that Sterling is a fair object of concern and critiscm.
In reality a decent person who looks after his family and does alot of good for disadvantaged people.
I also have nothing to say negatively about Pogba or Lingard, why should I ?
