Raheem Sterling returning to where he was racially abused is ... (The Athletic)

Sterling was clearly affected by the racism he suffered at Chelsea in 2018, but he shouldn't be forced to dwell on it if he chooses not to.

The story here is Sterling starting the next thrilling chapter of his incredible career. It is not on Sterling or other black athletes to keep reliving and enduring the negativity they suffer. There is a chance Sterling may want to discuss that moment. Real action is dealing with the issue at the root level and preventing it from recurring. In many ways, there’s a poetic sense of triumph to all of this. There is no denying that this moment had a lasting effect on Sterling. What followed would change the course of the discussion on racism in British sport. Far from attempting to glamourise gun crime, the tattoo was an act of defiance, a vow to never become involved in such a lifestyle. He has scored double figures of league goals in each of his past five seasons and is second only to Lionel Messi for goal contributions for Pep Guardiola teams. While Sterling could become the King of Stamford Bridge, that fan will never enter the stadium again. We are talking about a player who has scored over 100 Premier League goals, is about to play for his third Big Six club and has played for his country on over 70 occasions. The reasoning behind the CPS’ decision was a lack of evidence proving that the language used was racially aggravated after an investigation by a lip-reading specialist. He was the 17-year-old boy wonder at Liverpool, the one who dared to dream at City. Now, at Chelsea, he has an opportunity to be the main man.

Football: Sterling leaves City for Chelsea in £50 million deal (The Straits Times)

City intend to use the influx of funds to first make a move for Brighton & Hove Albion defender Marc Cucurella. But the Seagulls have slapped a £50 million asking price for the Spain international and have also started talks for a new deal after an impressive first term in England. He did not make the line-up for either leg of their last-four defeat by Real Madrid and started only six of City's last 11 games in the league, and was on the bench for the season finale against Aston Villa. Sterling, however, has fallen down the pecking order over the past two campaigns, playing only a limited role in City's run to their fourth league title in five years and the Champions League semi-final last season, with Guardiola often preferring Phil Foden or Jack Grealish on the left.
