Raheem Sterling
Sterling has been portrayed badly by the media for years but after a Chelsea fan shouted racist abuse at him during a away match and the media did not stand up for him he decided it was time to call out the media.
Sterling posted a image on Instagram with a long caption that explained and showed the racism in football media.
Two English youngsters from Manchester City, one black and the other white and both bought houses for their parents. The media portrayed this as a positive thing for the white player but portrayed it as a negative thing for the black player. Sterling pointed this out in his Instagram post and stated how it is unacceptable for the media to be reinforce these racial stereotypes.
