However, one racist moron doesn’t define why Sterling is disliked.
The Great British public love a good scapegoat, and Raheem is the latest. Our media like to build players up just to knock them down again, and many people lap it up. That doesn’t mean that the media’s agenda is to spread racism, it’s purely to sell papers.
Rooney had it, Wilshere had it, Beckham had it and Gazza had it. And they’re not black!
Our best player currently is Harry Kane but from a media point of view he’s boring and gives them nothing to write about.
Sterling is then arguably our next biggest profile player.
Hahaha wow. Ok. I will play. How can Stirling be compared to any of the players you mention? Rooney was vilified for shagging a granny, then drink driving whilst with some tart. Beckham for smashing his PA and being stupidly sent off against Argentina. Gazza had different issues, alcohol and knocking his ex wife about... all very much reportable, and interesting. Stirling’s worst crime is that he is less boring than Kane? Is it just me that thinks that the whole Stirling coverage is moronic?
Why does the amount of money he earns matter? Why should his choice of tattoo make news? What he buys with his money? People have questioned his commitment to football, yet he has improved to be one of the best footballers in the Premiership.
The media should leave the bloke alone, unless there is something worth reporting on.
