Raheem Sterling says ‘society must grow up’ and tackle racism
Raheem Sterling has called on society to»wake up» and realise footballers have been»human beings just doing their jobs» as gamers are still abused.
A range of players, including Tammy Abraham and Sterling’s fellow England internationals Marcus Rashford, are targeted on the internet after missing penalties this season.
Inter Milan striker Romelu Lukaku was likewise abused by Cagliari fans during a Serie A match last week, and Sterling says things needs to change.
He told Sky Sports News:»It’s easy to say what happens next but there is a whole great deal of folks behind a computer monitor. Those are the ones which are unsatisfactory and feel they could get away with things like this.
«We’re in 2019 and we are still talking about this. I can not say I have the response but as a society we will need to nail down on this.
«The people doing it need to awaken and understand it is a new age and discrimination is not something anyone should face.
«We need to grow up as a society and realise we are only out here in our jobs. We are human beings and we all have feelings.
«it is a touchy issue but I can not tell you I have the exact answer. However, as a society we all need to perform better and love each other more.»
Sterling called to be given a stadium ban when he was one of several England players to be abused there last year, and was vocal in calling out racism during his career.
Discussing before England win over Bulgaria on Saturday, Marcus Rashford predicted on media firms to do much more to prevent their customers racially abusing others online.
«For me personally, it’s too simple to do whatever you like on the internet,» Rashford explained. «Any people today could go on and create stories and write what we need under anybody’s articles and nobody would ever understand.
«The remedy is simple to work out if you’d like to show identification to create an account that means everybody can just have one account.
«For me, there’s hundreds of thousands of people who use my name on social networking and they can write what they like.
«But people are talking out and people are listening hopefully we could put it directly.»
