Manchester City's Raheem Sterling has called for UK media outlets to reconsider their coverage of young black players to help deter racism in football.
Sterling, 24, had been the subject of alleged racial abuse during City's match with Chelsea on Saturday, with a section of the Stamford Bridge support allegedly slinging racial slurs at the England man while he was near the touchline.
And while Chelsea, along with the Metropolitan Police, are conducting investigations, Sterling has taken to social media, using a Mail Online screenshot for context, to call for media outlets to take a moment before publishing something relating to young black players that could lead to the propagation of hate speech.
