Raheem Sterling was allegedly racially abused on Saturday

Social media users highlighted the incident which occurred in the Matthew Harding Stand and now the FA have come to address the matter.“We take all allegations of discrimination extremely seriously and will work with the clubs and the relevant authorities to ensure this matter is dealt with appropriately,” an FA spokesperson said.“We strongly condemn all forms of discrimination and encourage all fans and participants who believe that they have been the subject of, or witness to, discriminatory abuse to report it through the appropriate channels: The FA, our County FAs or our partners Kick It Out.” Earlier today, Sterling took to social media to call out newspapers for ‘fuelling racism’ by their reporting of young black players in relation to their white counterparts.I am not normally the person to talk a lot but when I think I need my point to (sic) heard I will speak up, he wrote.Regarding what was said at the Chelsea game as you can see by my reaction I just had to laugh because I dont expect no (sic) better.For example you have two young players starting out there (sic) careers both play for the same team, both have done the right thing. Which is buy a new house for there (sic) 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 (sic) message across for the young black player and then for the young white player.I think this in (sic) 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 dont understand why people are racist in this day and age all I have to say is have a second though about fair publicity an (sic) give all players an equal chance.The alleged abuse of Sterling is already being investigated by Chelsea and the Metropolitan Police.
