Media persecution of Raheem Sterling

[paulchapo]

On good morning Britain now. That wishy washy shoplifter Richard Madely and the ex editor of the Mirror and some other toothy half wit giving him loads.

Sigh

Idiot. This is the first proper dickhead thing one of our players has done in a long long time.

The press are all over him and thinks I'll get a tattoo of gun.

Shooting foot....father gunned down... Just madness.

Edit
From reading replies on here seems I'm on the opposite side in this one. Didn't realise he'd had it since September, but a catapult would have been a better idea....

Pretty stupid thing to do, kids looks up to Raheem but it's obvious he's being targeted, especially since he's had it for months.

Yes he's being targeted but wtf does he keep drawing attention to himself, bit like Ballo did.?

Tattoo not finished so anyone jumping the gun now might look pretty stupid when it’s finished.

Compare and contrast the difference in coverage this morning of 2 very similar , but different in one major aspect, England footballers , one the same headlines page.

Anyone, any idea of what other tattoos professionals have.
Is this the worst image a pro footballer has ?

Jay Bothroyd
Alberto Moreno
Raheem Sterling

All sporting 'controversial' tattoos depicting weapons, yet for some reason not all met with the same level of opprobrium by the British media. Oh, how I wish I could understand why...

I Hope the unfinished part is of bullets tearing through the Sun newspaper.
