England

that sun thread is amazing, the dirty car one is absolutely incredible...i often wonder about the choices i've made in my life and think how things could have been different, but at no point have i ever considered the path that would have led me to be sitting writing about a footballers car being dirty

I'd like to think I'm one of the most laid back people you meet but this has me appalled.

 

It's 2018, what was going on in their mind. You can't call your group "Mothers Against Guns", how discriminating.

There are very few things in life in which I give less of a shit about than what is tattooed on Raheem Sterling's leg.

 

I find it bizarre that a national newspaper would put it on their front page. What worries me is the depth of their target audience.

[TBG]

All things considered I'd prefer if you didn't use the word "target" thank you very much.

The Mackems would be up in arms given what the acronym is.

The subtext to all of this is ultimately “black athletes need to shut up and just appreciate what we’ve given them.”

[Guest firetotheworks]

No shit.

Although saying that, they seem to have a particular dislike for Sturridge, like. It's obviously incredibly transparent, but as soon as they get their claws in on one person they never let go. Black, young, rich, and successful therefore they fucking hate him, bonus points for him being disliked by Liverpool fans and forcing them to share their dislike with The Sun.

[Stifler]

What you have to remember is that the people who read the sun and listen to piers Morgan are the type of people who love reading about footballers and celebrities whilst making Facebook updates saying soldiers should get footballers wages. They are also the same cunts who voted BREXIT, and share Britain first posts.

 

Anyone respectful actually give a fuck what the Sun and Piers Morgan says?

Well somebody respectful has given them a platform.

[Deuce]

No shit.

Racist.

[Guest firetotheworks]

I think I'm just used to typing Sturridge.

[wormy]

Sorry. Was too easy.

 

On a serious note, F365 quickly nail it as ever:

In December a man was jailed for walking up to Sterling and calling him a “black scouse cunt” before repeatedly kicking him in the legs. He then said: “I hope your mother and child wake up dead in the morning, you nigger.”

Insane.

 

Meanwhile I've just been and bought some lunch whilst those Belgians were shot. Sickening behaviour from my self.

[Guest neesy111]

I'm actually lost for words about that.

[Guest firetotheworks]

Yeah, I think that's the first time I've ever been genuinely gobsmacked by how low and tenuous they'll go. As MD has said, I'd be getting my lawyers all over that shit, it's fucking sick.

[Guest chopey]

They need to be called out for that, its horrific.

[Guest Howaythetoon]

That’s our media for you, bunch of scumbags.

[Away Day Gadgie]

I didn’t realise the extent of this campaign against Sterling until today.  It’s absolutely sickening, i feel really sorry for the guy.  Hopefully it doesn’t affect him too much!

[mrmojorisin75]

two teenagers stabbed the day he revealed his gun tattoo

 

i'm actually impressed, you can honestly just feel the froth as people will be getting themselves in a rage about it as well

The Sun have been doing this to the working class for decades. There's an extra layer with the "he's black so he's a gangster" shite but the sheer disgust the Sun and Mail have for the riff raff is actually impressive.
