It's a silly tat (though apparently has a wider context relating to his father's death and a promise to only ever "shoot with my feet" as a result) but it's clear that some sections of the press, particularly the Sun, have it in for him because he's a young black person.

If they genuinely thought it was inappropriate and wrongly glamorised guns they'd not have given it front page coverage.

Calls for him to not play for England unless he has it removed or covered up prove those criticising him know nothing about football, as it'll be hidden under his socks the entire time. No one would ever have seen it, if they hadn't done this.

Linekar retweeted that and it’s basically true. I saw one article about him shopping at primark.

The media were quick to jump on the FA for their ridiculous tweet about Kane being in Smallings pocket and demanded they apologise. I’m not sure they’d be doing that if Sterling had been on the end of that tweet.

I guess He works in mysterious ways ¯\(°_o)/¯
