‘I’m black and I’m proud’ – Manchester City man Raheem Sterling claims walking off the pitch would let the racists win
Manchester City forward Raheem Sterling declared ‘I’m black and I’m proud’ after rejecting calls for players who receive racial abuse to walk off the pitch during a game.Sterling, 24, was speaking after football in England and Scotland was marred by shameful events last weekend, days after Tottenham defender Danny Rose said he couldn’t wait to retire from football due to the way the authorities have failed to tackle the problem.
3Sterling and Rose were subject to racist abuse during England’s Euro 2020 qualifying win at Montenegro in MarchThere have been calls for players to walk off the pitch if they are abused but Sterling said he felt that would be the wrong move.“I wouldn’t personally agree with it,” he said. “To win the game would hurt them even more, they’re only trying to get you down.“If you walk off they win, to score or win would be better.”Sterling, who has consistently raised the issue after receiving personal abuse, does not understand what drives people to be racially abusive.“It’s offensive but my mum always told me I’m a wonderful black child and I know this,” he said.
3Sterling was also allegedly racially abused during City’s Premier League match against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge earlier this season“I’m black and I’m proud, and I’m confident in my body. Some people can’t take it but my mum always told me to love myself and who I am.”Sterling was speaking ahead of City’s Champions League clash with Tottenham, whose left-back Rose said last week he “can’t wait to see the back of the game” because of inaction on the problem.Spurs manager Mauricio Pochettino said the issue of racism must be tackled at every level of society.“I think it’s a very delicate situation. It’s not easy,” he said.“It’s a very personal situation, how you feel, your emotion and how you can manage your emotion.

“We are here trying to help everyone.

It’s everywhere.”Northampton said several members of their first-team squad were also allegedly abused prior to their match at Notts County.The Professional Footballers’ Association branded the incidents over the weekend “another stark reminder of how crucial anti-racism and equality development work is across football and society”.It said in a statement: “Racism is a societal issue but football has the opportunity to demonstrate to society that it is unacceptable.“Everyone needs to come together to ensure swift and robust action to tackle racism, and we commend the Championship clubs involved in this weekend’s incidents for their decisive action and statements.” The PFA added it would continue to lobby the Football Association, UEFA and FIFA for stronger sanctions.In Scotland on Monday, a 38-year-old man was charged with using racist language at the Edinburgh derby.Police Scotland are also investigating after footage was posted on Twitter which purported to show racist abuse directed at Hibernian midfielder Marvin Bartley during his side’s 2-1 win over Hearts.A police spokeswoman said: “Police in Edinburgh are investigating following a report of a hate crime at Tynecastle Stadium.“The incident happened on Saturday, April 6, and was reported to police on Monday, April 8.”Hearts said in a statement: “The club abhors racism of any kind and will take appropriate action against any individual found guilty of racist behaviour within Tynecastle.”The Scottish Professional Football League said racism was “completely unacceptable” and it supported any steps taken by its clubs to identify the perpetrators.A spokesperson added: “Once identified, it’s vital that, as well as prompting club bans, such behaviour is dealt with severely by the courts.“The SPFL wholeheartedly condemns all racism and, whilst rare in Scottish football, it’s something we and our clubs take very seriously.“We would strongly encourage supporters who witness any kind of discriminatory abuse to report it to the police.”
