Embarrassing for it be happening twice in two weeks in England. Just when you thought things had changed for the better... #LetsKickRacismOutOfFootball— Rhian Brewster (@RhianBrewster9) December 9, 2018Sterling's former teammate from their time at Liverpool, Martin Skrtel, also commented "well said bro".Other footballers to show their support include Phil Foden, Demarai Gray, Ederson, Nathan Redmond, Andre Gray, Saido Berahino, Eni Aluko and Yannick Bolasie.You can see Sterling's post here: View this post on Instagram Good morning I just want to say , I am not normally the person to talk a lot but when I think I need my point to heard I will speak up. Regarding what was said at the Chelsea game as you can see by my reaction I just had to laugh because I don’t expect no better. For example you have two young players starting out there careers both play for the same team, both have done the right thing. Which is buy a new house for there mothers who have put in a lot of time and love into helping them get where they are, but look how the news papers get there message across for the young black player and then for the young white payer. I think this in unacceptable both innocent have not done a thing wrong but just by the way it has been worded. This young black kid is looked at in a bad light. Which helps fuel racism an aggressive behaviour, so for all the news papers that don’t understand why people are racist in this day and age all i have to say is have a second thought about fair publicity an give all players an equal chance.
