Sterling racially abused by Chelsea fan?

[aguero93:20]

I wouldn’t stoop to such myself of course, but the thought of a dumper truck’s worth of pig shit landing on his door step, does have a certain allure....

When i heard the story i pictured a young lad, not two old fuckers who possibly should know better.

This is part of why they continue to get away with it. As Musa Okwonga said when those Chelsea fans kicked that man off the train in Paris nearly four years ago now:

"Many people who will express revulsion at that racist football fan video are just as unpleasant in far subtler and more dangerous ways. Extreme, overt, drunken racism by fans is only the symptom of attitudes that may be more commonplace that people would like to admit. The outraged condemnation of drunken racist football fans, without further examination of the underlying issues, is nothing but cathartic. The average racist these days is far, far smarter than a football fan on an away day who gets hammered and abuses a random black person. The drunken racist football fan on the evening train is the least dangerous racist of all since you know exactly where you stand with them. The most dangerous racists of all are those who will keep you conveniently at arm's length for years. They are the ones I worry about. As someone who has experienced both verbal and physical racist abuse on the street, I am not belittling what happened tonight. I am merely saying: let us be clear. Racism does not simply arise from nowhere. It is mould that has been allowed to fester too long. So no, I'm not going to get on my high horse about the drunken racist fans, and I would advise you to be very very wary of anyone who does."

He expands on it in this article from around the same time.

Liverpool and their fans have viciously abused Raheem on social media for years. They are a disgrace and have contributed a lot to the ongoing media attack on the lad.

This 100% , the dippers and their ex-player pundits instigated the hate campaign , but as usual any repercussions of their actions our met by a total lack of responsibility , its never their fault , but the fact is that Raheem has proved the pathetic and needy scousers wrong by winning medals and becoming the best English footballer and he has also vindicated his decision to leave a club that showed no ambition by selling its best player every year.

I happened to catch this discussion of Talksport. I thought Kitson was disgraceful trying to argue the abuse was to be expected due to Raheem's earlier instagram and twitter posts . The fact that the media have been stoking this up for years and now trying to hang the blame on Raheem beggars belief

Sometimes there’s a point in time when lines need to be drawn. Sterling has rightly raised this. The media persecution of Raheem is disgusting. The likes of the Mail and Sun need to be called out repeatedly until it stops. I simply won’t listen to Talk Sport either. Their is NO justification for this reporting of young black Manchester City players. Period.

Glad to see this is finally hitting major headlines, but we know it's nothing new. Remember Burnley away a couple of years ago?

You look at the kids at the front and wonder where they get the hate from - but then you see the adults /parents behind them. God help them.

Racism has never disappeared, it's just not reported in the mainstream that much anymore unless something like this happens.
