Raheem Sterling Takes Aim At Daily Mail In Response To Being Racially Abused During Match

“This is a big moment for the media and for football. It’s a wake-up call.”

This is a big moment for the media and for football. It's a wake-up call. People have to listen to Raheem Sterling on the negative depicting of young black players in parts of the media and the knock-on effects.

Respect to Raheem Sterling for standing up and speaking out. There is a direct correlation between vilification of young black players in the media and the vile abuse Sterling received at CFC. pic.twitter.com/CJbuUO5nlB

Good morning I just want to say , I am not normally the person to talk a lot but when I think I need my point to heard I will speak up. Regarding what was said at the Chelsea game as you can see by my reaction I just had to laugh because I don’t expect no better. For example you have two young players starting out there careers both play for the same team, both have done the right thing. Which is buy a new house for there mothers who have put in a lot of time and love into helping them get where they are, but look how the news papers get there message across for the young black player and then for the young white payer. I think this in unacceptable both innocent have not done a thing wrong but just by the way it has been worded. This young black kid is looked at in a bad light. Which helps fuel racism an aggressive behaviour, so for all the news papers that don’t understand why people are racist in this day and age all i have to say is have a second thought about fair publicity an give all players an equal chance.
