Manchester City star Raheem Sterling has called on society to "grow up" and realise professional football players are human beings in order to stop the racist abuse aimed at them.
The winger spoke to Sky Sports on the ongoing issue:
"It's easy to say what happens next, but there's a lot of people behind a computer screen. Those are the ones that are disappointing and feel they can get away with stuff like this.
"We are in 2019, and we're still talking about this. I can't say I have the answer to stop it, but as a society we need to nail down on this.
