It isn’t! It’s a photo depicting the reaction of a keeper who just had an attempt of having the piss taken out of him by his opponent. THAT’s the photo. I can’t remember a photo like that which captures both opponents with such contrasting emotions. City simply beating Leicester isn’t news, pens or not. To attract the click they will use something to get attention, and what better way than this photo. If it was simply a miss it wouldn’t have been used.The use of that picture in that context is not racist but it is another example of the relentless persecution of Sterling.
No wonder the world is so over bleeding sensitive!!

ANY criticism of Raheem now will be under the microscope, the finger pointers will be looking for anything and everything it might end up with him never being mentioned in the press even if he scores 4 goals in a match.
All this because he left the cult.

The photo is supposed to depict a summary of the game, this is what normally happens, the winning team celebrating, the scorer of the winning goal celebrating, a member of the losing side looking dejected, something that gives an indication of the outcome.
Not a minor talking point from the game but apparently when that talking point is Sterling then it becomes fair game?

I ain't subscribing to this "he brings it upon himself" newspaper and media spin. He shouldn't even be in the spotlight for everything he does, nevermind pieces of news like this being used to justify the nations thoughts about him.
This news "reporting" was really that a keeper showed him the same sort of anger that those Chelsea supporters did, but then also the reason that sterling caused it.
It has an alternate narrative to just "sterling missed" its part of the whole bullying thing.
Whether it's because he is black or just because he is sterling I don't really care, it's bullying and it's a city player, he doesn't bring it upon himself

Why use a photo of Zinchenko scoring though when you have that photo there to attract the click? The outcome is the same, the match report is read and whoever cares to read it finds out we won the game. They also see an event rarely seen, a reaction from a keeper to a player who tried to take the piss, and who has the complete opposite reaction - both captured in the same photo. Whatever that person chooses to take from that is up to them. Some will laugh. Some will think ‘dickhead’, which is what I thought watching it live. Some will think the keeper was a dick. Some will think sterling had balls to try it. Most simply wont care either way.The photo is supposed to depict a summary of the game, this is what normally happens, the winning team celebrating, the scorer of the winning goal celebrating, a member of the losing side looking dejected, something that gives an indication of the outcome.

Yes but its not persecution or racist.
