Raheem Sterling: Manchester City forward wants to meet with Football Association and Premier League to discuss efforts to tackle racism and discrimination
Raheem Sterling wants to speak with the Football Association and the Premier League over the summer to discuss the next steps in combating racism and discrimination within the game.The England forward believes social media boycotts and gestures such as wearing t-shirts during warm-ups are not enough to make a stand and has called for harder punishments such as nine-point deductions for racist incidents.getty2

Raheem Sterling spoke candidly in an extended interview with the Wall Street Journal

Speaking at length at the Wall Street Journal’s Future of Everything Festival in New York, Sterling fresh from capping off a remarkable season with City by sealing a domestic treblesaid: “You can get caught up with training every day, and games every two, three days, so you don’t really have a lot of time to be out speaking to people.“But in my off time and holidays, if I can get around and speak to the Football Association and the people in the Premier League, and see how we can look about doing things better in the future, for sure I’ll be there in person to try and do that.”

The 24-year-old has emerged as a leading figure in the campaign against racism, regularly speaking out on the issue in the public domain.After he was allegedly racially abused by spectators at Chelsea in December, Sterling used Instagram to criticise the media for the way they report on black players.He said he was then contacted by football authorities with ideas about the campaign, but did not agree with their approach.getty2

Sterling, 24, wants to meet with the FA and Premier League to combat the issue of racism in football

“After the situation at Chelsea they came to me with an idea but I did not agree with the idea,” he added.“It was a social media blackout. I said I simply don’t agree with what you want to put out.“It is a social media post that’s going to happen for one day. In two days’ time it will all be forgotten about.”In April, the Professional Footballers’ Association launched the #Enough campaign, which saw footballers in England and Wales boycott social media for 24 hours to protest the way the social networks have handled cases of online abuse.But Sterling has said he wants to see stronger punishments those on the receiving end would not be able to ignore. “Teams getting (points) deductions, teams getting kicked out… this is when people start taking it seriously,” he explained.“If I go to a football game and I support Manchester United, for example, I don’t want to be the person that lets my team down by saying silly remarks in a stadium.“If you know your team is going to get deducted nine points and not win the league, you are not going to say these racist remarks even though you shouldn’t have it in your head.“Fining a club 5000 or a fan 300 doesn’t do anything.”
