Sterling’s Racial Abuse

City enjoyed one of the biggest nights in the club's history on Tuesday as they advanced to their first-ever Champions League final after a 2-0 victory over Paris Saint-Germain at the Etihad Stadium.


However, the Express reports, that the celebrations have been marred after Sterling was subjected to an abusive post on Instagram which contained racist monkey and gorilla emojis.

Once made aware of the post, Instagram moved to delete and condemn it

dear god whoever did it wants his / her name in papers
 
To be honest shit like this can't really be stopped. It's the equivalent of bloody kids in the playground name calling. They go for what hurts the most and gets the most outrage. The more people denounce it and discuss it the more the thick little pricks do it. All they can do is prosecute them, name and shame them and ban the weasels from getting internet access, punishable with prison if they break the ban.
 
Eventually governments will be convinced that the only solution is anti-anonymity laws.

As much as racism and hate are a blight in any form, I hope it never comes to that.

It’s almost always people from outside this country though. We can bring in any laws we want but that won’t make a blind bit of notice to people in Saudi Arabia (like the bloke from this particular incident) or wherever else they come from.

Everyone: football clubs, footballers, football fans, need to cancel their social media accounts for good. Simple as that. Don’t live on an online world, it’s not the real world but it is a toxic environment.

Diego Maradonna, Muhammad Ali, Johan Cruyff, Michael Jordan were all household names with worldwide fans; not one of them had nor needed a Twitter account. Neither do modern day sportsmen. Social media is just not needed at all.

They can live their online life through club platforms. Have them on City+ so they’re subscription based so only fans of this club can see them and don’t give them comments sections.
