That he can enunciate at all is remarkable for a chelsea fan of his appearance.

Maybe Atlas can sort it out for us all with his ‘lip reading’ qualities! If a guy has lost his job by calling that little rat a ‘manc Cunt’, then we have a problem.

The other way to look at it is his junior, who has probably been bullied and mistreated by this cunt for twenty years, will now be free of the possibly racist overlord and get his long awaited and hard earned promotion.

Does that mean you trust a Chelsea fan for his word then? 🙂
Racist language or not, if an employer sees any sort of abuse from a fellow employee nowdays then they are more likely to action so not sure from an employer point of view they would care.
Why is a 60yr old man getting so angry anyway at a person he doesn't even know. I still don't understand why some fans are so angry from the 1st min.

Do we have a problem if the guy is lying and actually called Sterling a black cunt? and lost his job as a result?

Shouting abuse at someone shouldn't be the fundamental reason for him getting sacked. It's absurd. Logically, s[bcolor=transparent]aying a racist word should result in a pound coin going into a jar, that's it, anything else is up to the victim to prove some sort of excess damage caused by hearing a word. Following on that logic, his employer should then ask [/bcolor]what kind of person is he to shout that kind of abuse, obviously we don't want to employ those kind of people, and then he gets sacked. So he should be sacked for being a cunt himself, NOT because he called someone a cunt. The problem is, in football and society there are many cunts, so if you start looking at people's actual character you'll open the floodgates. I reckon that's why they're all comfortable concentrating on the words this guy said and virtue signalling about those words. Everyone apart form Digger that is.

If you think racist abuse (in this case alleged) can be negated by sticking a quid into a swear jar then that says a lot about you.
Fortunately, in UK there's various laws that protect against this kind of abuse with Brexit or not 🙂

Check out these headlines from those shit rags about Raheem, no wonder people feel free to abuse him:

 

[manwithnoname]

Raheem Sterling is a cunt, though.

The abuse is just an incident. You can deal with that in criminal law or civil law. He'll get a fine or perhaps jail if the CPS miraculously do their job competently. That negates the incident. Or if Raheem sues him, and tries to plead some psychiatric injury caused by the word, which cost him a billion dollar move to PSG, the judge will laugh his ass off at that, and award nominal damages of £1. That also negates the incident. What I am saying is the incident doesn't matter, it's literally £1 in a court of law or in a jar. The incident is just a useful way of putting racism into a box, packaged up, dealt with, then brushed aside out of sight. What actually matters is what the incident tells you about the cunt, his character, and that is what you should punish him for by sacking him, or by caving his skull in.

 

[manwithnoname]

Some are saying that he said "Manc cunt".
I don't know what to believe, but I still don't get the hatred and the abuse even if it's not racist.
Really don't get how some people work, I mean why scream a bunch of shit at players? I get banter, but this is far from it.

Have you ever been to a football match before? There's knobheads in every ground and every fanbase.

Some are worse than others, but if you want to sit there and pretend that FURIOUS, embarrassing bellends screaming abuse directly at players from a distance of about 4 feet isn't common, then by all means do so, but it isn't reality. You could get those sort of pictures from any Premier league game at the weekend. There's some from just last night, with that divvy Isaac Success being roared at by angry Bitters.

Now, the issue of racism - if proven - adds another very unpleasant facet, and there's no doubt that Sterling seems to be particularly targeted - and of course his race undoubtedly factors into it for plenty of fans who dislike him - but there's plenty of high-profile, successful black players that don't attract that level of opprobrium, and one of the reasons is that Sterling is a fucking tit.

Of course, he's very far from being the only tit in football, but let's not pretend it's just because he's young, gifted and black.

I'm fed up with people saying he runs like a girl. He runs like a toddler.

I don't care how he runs, I just wish he still played for us, because he's ace and I was gutted when he left. And he's got even better, which is very annoying considering he's still only about 23.

The fucking tit.

No, I've seen it...plenty of times, at Anfield and other grounds as well, I just don't think it's normal.

There's plenty of white young cuntish players too and they aren't targeted constantly. Apart from tatoo thing, what else does Raheem do that demands so much coverage above any other young lad at that age? I can't remember hardly of anything or of note that he's done?
There is a particular obsession with Raheem and saw that first hand at League cup final. Some of it comes from the move to city at such a young age but we should all just try to move on from that, we got loads of money and didn't get stiffed like with Owen.

No, I'm not saying it's normal. I think it's extremely weird too.

Especially from grown men who don't appear to be blind drunk/ off their heads.

I understood why he went to City, he made the right decision. We were going nowhere under Rodgers.

There was plenty about the machinations and interviews and whatnot that were hugely annoying (his cunt of an agent) but his choice to leave was correct and has been proven to be the right one for him personally. So whatever. But here's the issue: why do supporters of other clubs seem to dislike him too?

He doesn't deserve it, no. But he deffo is a bit of a tit.

Gerrard obviously kopped massive abuse from the bitters, and obviously has been pilloried in perpetuity for the slip by any rent-a-crowd. Lampard was reviled by the West Ham fans. But the stick Sterling gets is unrivalled in the recent past, and it seems to be that he is quite generally disliked, rather than by just one or two clubs in particular. Only Raheem gets close to that level of grief.

That was after a WC QF final not that it was anyway justified. Same way when fans were seen burning Gerrard shirts during the whole Chelsea thing.
Missed the point totally though and not comparable, it was regarding constant paper coverage for a young lad who's a bit dull rather than some stupid one off over reaction from fans. This was the original Sterling and few others have made about why the constant negative coverage which he says fuelled the hate from some fans.

 

[Modo]

Yeah, so wasn't a fan of his move to Man C, but other than that, what has he really done?
He's a young overpaid footballer in England and the media needed a target so they picked him.

Sterling generates more conspiracy theories than any other player at present. He attracted coverage a few years ago, as that snake of an agent worked to build up his profile prior to triggering his big and lucrative move, so the tabloids lapped up stories about his dodgy flings, his ridiculous in-house barber shop and tales of his rough and tough childhood. That was the proverbial Faustian deal. Once you whistle and get the red rags interested in you, don't feign surprise when they keep up the coverage no matter how trivial or twisted it might be. In that sense Sterling is Katie Price with a more girly running style. He still can't seem to figure out how he's been complicit in all this coverage, so he reaches for the race card every fecking time. The real victims of racism in the game are the players of various ethnicities in the lower leagues, where it is chronic rather than occasional, and the players in non-league football, where it's sometimes absolutely shocking. But they're not interesting to all the Premier League-obsessed pundits, because racism only impinges on their paradigm when it concerns the highest profile stars. It might astonish Raheem Sterling, but not everything is about Raheem Sterling.

"When I was 2 my father died from being gunned down to death I made a promise to myself I would never touch a gun in my life time," he posted on Instagram.

"I shoot with my right foot so it has a deeper meaning and still unfinished."

And let's not forget the utterly cringe Snapchat video - posted by one of his "brothers" (ie not his brother) on social media hours a few hours after England arrived back from the hopeless World Cup in France - with his "Daddy Rangey" and home cinema and jewel-encrusted sink and Ferrari tagged with "My Team Winning"

That wasn't the media. HIS MATE POSTED IT. If he didn't make the video, say those things and then let him fucking POST IT ON SNAPCHAT, it wouldn't be IN the media for idiots to fucking lap it up and decide that they're racist again because Sterling is black.

And now everyone is hand-wringing and wondering why so many football fans think he's a cunt? Because he does so many cuntish things.

Yeah, and the Spanish word for "normal" is "normal", so you can't try and hide behind any language barrier bullshit, Mekon, you fucking racist.

 

[dantes]

Think of all the abnormal children who look up to him, worship him even, and now have to hear that insulting reference to their ethnicity and/or colour. The FA simply must set an example here, particularly given Guardiola is a worldwide international figure.
