The abuse of Billing is the latest in a series of incidents of racial abuse which have marred English football this season.A Tottenham supporter was handed a four-year football ban for throwing a banana skin at Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, the Arsenal forward, while Raheem Sterling was allegedly racially abused during Chelsea’s 2-0 defeat of Manchester City at Stamford Bridge last December.Sterling later hit out at newspapers for their treatment of young black footballers, claiming the media ‘helps fuel racism’ for portraying them differently to their white counterparts.
View this post on Instagram 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 dont 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 dont 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.A post shared by Raheem Sterling x (@sterling7) on
