Sterling racially abused by Chelsea fan?

[aguero93:20]

To all doubters , do you think Raza would’ve reacted like he did if the rents boys were just abusing him without any racist slang as seen on multiple photos ? Like everyday customary abuses like “fuck off cvnts or useless cvnts etc .

If he was going to react to normal abuse he'd be doing it 19 times a season.

The abuse he got at Burnley a few years back was the worst I have seen for any player after watching games for 50 years plus. When they sang "you let your country down" it felt racist to me.

We (City fans) sang similar shit to Stuart Pearce following Italia 90

The incident with Sterling and the Chelsea fan(s) today is, sadly, the inevitable consequence of the continued vilification of the player by sections of the media.

What I don't get in that interview is why he should be obliged to tell the referee when the linesman is right on top of it.

Raheem puts his finger on it - he suggests that it is the RDAHMeedya who fuel it. Two headlines about City players buying houses. Tosin raises a few eyebrows because he hasn't started a league game for us, and Philfo who has. The press look upon it as the future for Phil but for Tosin there's a hint of criticism. One black, one white!

Just been listening to Talk Shite and Dave Kitson has just accused Sterling of his early Instagram posts where he put pictures of his cars he bought etc as the reason he gets abused. What a disgraceful scum of the earth he is. There is no excuse for racism. Racism has been around for years before Instagram so you shouldn’t be trying to pin Instagram on the reason for abuse. Raheem got it spot on with highlighting how the press portray different players.

The worst part of that is that the Tosin story was put in the regular news section instead of the sports section and they didn't even bother mentioning his name in the headline. They knew exactly who hey were aiming it at

I'd love to see Abramovich tell them he's had enough and give them 18 months notice to repay him his £1bn+ loan.

Who would he tell to repay it? Himself?

Exactly this, it's OK to criticise someone for being knobbish but not for the colour of their skin etc.

Disgusting this. Opportunity for the media to come out all guns blazing against this hate campaign started initially by the dippers. Beyond disgraceful.

It’s a nice thought but experience tells us that it’s unlikely. When that **** abused him and kicked him at the training ground there were a few days where it looked like there was a bit of self reflection in the media and the part they had played in the hate and where it had led. Only seemed like a few weeks later they were up to their old tricks as soon as the World Cup was getting close and then scapegoated him relentlessly throughout the tournament.
