Media persecution of Raheem Sterling

[MarsLlama]

I can imagine what a day at the Sun offices is like...

The editor walks in- it's mid-afternoon.
"Alright lads, we need some dirt on an England player to make an article about for tomorrow"

His writers start calling out suggestions.
"Boss, Jack Wilshere's kicking off about not getting to the World Cup"
"Nah, that's not bad enough"
"Boss, Dele Alli's been in a porn video"
"That's tame! I'm looking for something really terrible that one of the bastards has done"
"Boss, Raheem Sterling's just gone to Poundland"
"He did WHAT?"

Out of interest, is there anyone on here who thinks Sterling was wrong to get the tattoo?

It isn't glorifying gun violence, because it's widely known, thanks to the s*n, that his father was killed. Besides his fucking socks will cover it ffs!!!

Me.

I think it was wrong from Sterling. Not all people know or will know the reason. The reason is irrelevant because that Tattoo is sending the wrong message to young people

Good to see Gary Lineker condemning the latest round of anti Sterling rubbish.

It's a good thing he wears long socks then isn't it? Otherwise young people would've been getting the wrong message since he got it done in September.

Can see it now - millions of kids running down to Tesco to get their hands on an AK47... Outrageous reporting again and anyone who can defend either paper for this headline doesn't have a grasp on reality.

Missed all of this yesterday and can't believe I'm waking up to Raz all over the front pages. The call out culture on social media is horrible.

"This tattoo is disgusting. Raheem should hang his head in shame. It's totally unacceptable. We demand he has the tattoo lasered off or covered up with a different tattoo."

Oh fuck off.
