  • Raheem Sterling Is Right About Racism and It's a Watershed Moment

Thank you for subscribingWe have more newslettersShow meSee ourprivacy notice Invalid Email Last Saturday’s top-of-the-table Premiership clash between Chelsea and Manchester City featured the nauseating spectacle of a group of mid- dle-aged white men appearing to racially abuse Manchester City forward Raheem Sterling as he retrieved the ball for a throw in. In footage widely circulated on social media, one of the men, clearly in the midst of some sort of visceral rage, spits out what seems to be an expletive ridden tirade directly at Sterling. On Monday, Chelsea FC announced that it had suspended four people from attending Chelsea matches pending further investigations. On Tuesday, MailOnline carried an interview with one of the men under investigation. Colin Wing, 60, accused of calling Sterling a “f***ing black c***” apologised “unreservedly to Raheem” but he denies racially abusing the Man City star - saying he had called Sterling a “Manc c***" not a "black c***” Be shocked, but not surprised.
