Indeed. Using this incident as an opportunity to criticise a role model of the modern game. Couldn’t care less that he plays for City, this is a guy who is an inspiration to many youngsters who don’t even support city - and clearly he’s don’t nothing to be critical of.
Just slating Sterling I think.
I would put money on him being a Tommy Robinson follower and a fan of the likes of Nigel Farage (if he even knows who he is). Voted Brexit too.
Whatever they plan to fine this moron should be doubled for the state of that spelling and grammar alone.He's pretty unrepentant about it.
Turn the volume up on this and you can hear it slightly:

Absolutely bollocks
YEP,of course.
how can a native English write so bad in English? I bet he is abusing immigrants who might actually write his own language better than him!
Nothing wrong with Squaddies. They are heroes when in conflicts and treated like dirt when not.
Keep politics out of this FFS, it's nothing to do with politics. You're as bad as brainless Neville.
How is it nothing to do with politics?
Hehe. Good. Let the hate flow through you.
When it happens to him, he wants points deduction. But when it happens to an opponent in front of his own eyes, he stands there pathetic doing nothing.
Yes Raheem, We should deduct 9 points of City.
Nothing wrong with highlighting what’s he’s said - but using it to have a go at him is pathetic.

How do you know he heard it? Ffs, he’s done nothing wrong at all.

State of this post.
It's been going in football for donkey's years, it never stopped. Neville trying to get political and blame Johnson is wrong and out of order.
Maybe he didn't hear it and so didn't do anything about it on the pitch. But now that everyone has seen that it has happened do you think he will take a stand and ask the FA to deduct points?
And then people would find their social media accounts and identify them as x supporters anyway.
Good prediction.
Spot on.
He's been around 3 1/2 years and still a newbie.
Maybe not everyone has one.
There are very few people who have no social media footprint or friends/family members/work mates who know what club they support. Especially if they're supporting their team to the extent that they're going to the games.
I think part of the ‘education’ is the swift and comprehensive way civil society enjoins to condemn such action. The speed with which clubs, pundits, fans and the public have condemned this guy has been quite startling.
I'm sure you see the irony of calling someone a snowflake when you got offended by someone pointing out racists are right wingers. Didn't take much to set you off there bud
WTF?? What on earth does any of this have to do with Sterling??? He has no responsibility to call out such behaviour. The behaviour itself is illegal. Why should it fall on non Caucasian players to have to be the most vocal against it.
Yo really need to stop with this narrative. Sterling shouldn't have to be responsible for addressing every racist incident that happens. Do you know who else did nothing, Fred, Rashford, the rest of the City and United teams as well as every idiot stood beside the guy in the stands. To turn it on a young guy who has done so much to raise the issue of racism in football is a bit low in my opinion.
He can simply write a tweet showing his firm response to racism (as he has been for a time active against it in the media and social media). Then he can repeat what he said few months ago about point deductions. Simple.
Yes, he has. He is not just a football player. He is a public figure who has followers, and I applauded him many times when he spoke about it bravely. His views on this subject specifically has been very big and in the last year he was in the center of it on the media and social media. I really was waiting for him to say something about it. Anyhow, I like Sterling as a player and a person, I was a bit disappointed and thought he would be one of the first people to talk about it, but he said nothing.
Come on now.
I appreciate you making your point in a civil manner (unlike some who are now banned). However, the following is a longstanding problem when it comes to the public discussion of racism by those who are victimised: they are either expected to 'shut up, and stop playing the race card' or they are expected to be proactive spokespeople every time an incident occurs. This attitude is merely another form of control, conscious or otherwise.
Fred said he himself didn't even notice the racism before after the game, and he was both the closest person and the guy the abuse was directed at.
If you were doing a monkey gesture wouldn’t you curl your hands up so they’re almost touching your armpits? Maybe I’m wrong but I’m not convinced he was being racist based off the footage.
