Raheem Sterling MBE

[Blueboy73]

Good on you Raz for calling out the wankers of the press and showing them up to be the bigots they are.

This 100%
No doubt the same journos who slated him for joining City will be dancing to a different tune now.

 

[bumbleblue]

Well done much deserved.

 

[RayCTID]

Congratulations Raz and keep up the good work.

 

[Ric]

Very well deserved.

 

[ninjamonkey]

Great for him, I'm sure he's buzzing with that but I've always maintained we shouldn't be handing out honours to footballers and other celebs.

Well done Raz. You called out the haters and the racist journos and they had to give way to you.
You changed the national conversation and deserve great credit for that.
Well done RAHEEM STERLING MBE.

He’s not got his honour for being a footballer. It’s for using his position as a public figure to fight racial injustice.

 

[Marklr]

He's put up with a lot of shit has our Raz...and come out with his head held high.

 

[Corky]

I would have preferred if he turned down the colonial award.

 

[lancs blue]

Does MBE stand for Most Booed Englishman? It's probably wishful thinking to imagine the bigots among the England support not giving him a hard time in the Euros as he was one of the most vociferous backers of taking the knee.

I have been against the honours system for years.
When the likes of Jimmy Savile, Rolf Harris and co have similarly received these awards then who the fuck wants to be in the same company as them?
LS Lowry got it right all those years ago - he holds the record for 5 times turning down different honours including a Knighthood

You should join my political party, the "We Dont Live in the 18th Century" party, which would abolish all titles, the H of L, and the honours system. Oh, and Manyoo.

Well said MES, I'm against the honours system too. Also Stewart Hall picked up an OBE and he was a convicted nonce.

Is the campaign to give Giggsy a Knighthood still going?

Chuffed to bits for him.

 

[give it to gordon]

Is this the first time City have had a current player receive an award ? I know retired players have ..

Well done Raz ;)

I’ve turned @Ric down on six occasions for the Most Valuable Poster (MVP) award.
