The abuse directed at Raheem Sterling was appalling and the people responsible need banning and prosecuting. Sadly there are still morons who think that race, or religion, or sexuality is fair game for abuse.

Watch any match and see the general abuse that is directed at players. The ball goes out for a throw or a corner and an opposition player goes to take it. Faces contort with fury, bile is shouted at them, and the hand gestures start. This is mature adults screaming abuse at young men, very threatening behaviour that is very disturbing: outside a stadium it would be illegal but in a ground it seems anything goes. Football is a passionate game but things are regressing. The world seems an angrier place right now and I worry a fan will do something stupid. We’ve already had a couple of players assaulted in recent years and yet the abuse goes on. Is it any wonder no footballer has come out?

{Ed0333's Note - wonderful and wise words my friend. Let’s hope footballing stadia is filled with people of your mindset in the not too distant future.

I forgot to mention referees where Managers add fuel to the fire as well. At grass roots level referees are being assaulted regularly and I believe the example set at the top level plays a part (as well as societal issues) . Why on Earth would anyone want to be a referee nowadays?

{Ed001's Note - it is sad but people take a game far too seriously. It is not just football though, it is all walks of life, people over react to nothing.}

Seems to happen with most black players who are percieved to be flashy and not humble.

Similar sort of thing happening with the stick pogba gets but on a lesser scale.

DSG,

I agree it does, however, I was also trying to make a wider point about abuse generally inside grounds against opposition players, irrespective of the colour of their skin.

Well said tony, It’s totally unacceptable and I applaud sterling for standing up and speaking out. I’ve always thought he got such a rough ride by the media because of the colour of his skin. I hope something is done but call me a cynic because I don’t think this issue will ever be fully eradicated. There is always one of two Neanderthals who ruin it for the majority.

I agree with ed people are overreacting to everything now. christmas songs, eating animals everything. Now I have a true story that happened here in cork, hard to believe but it's true,
A young lad started school here in cork his name was Mohammad, anyway the teacher said your in Ireland now and your new name is Mike, fine said Mike and he went home and told his mother, his mother went mad, are you ashamed of your name, your family your religion and gave him a right few slaps, then his father gave him a few more slaps, he went to school bruised the next day, what happened you Mike the teacher asked,
Shortly after I became an Irishman I was attacked by two Arabs. 😀.

Nice one Mike Leahy 😉🤣.

Leahy, I'm assuming the irony is lost on you.

10 Dec 2018 19:26:37
Ajh you can assume whatever you like.

I know how they feel, the Irish Catholic community in Glasgow have been discriminated against since we came here after The Famine.
