Raheem Sterling: "Now is the time that we have to act"

Raheem Sterling has been on the receiving end of abuse from fans in England and Europe.

Manchester City and England forward Raheem Sterling says “now is the time to act” against racism.

The issue has been on the worldwide agenda in recent weeks, with the Black Lives Matter movement gaining rapid speed after the death of George Floyd in America.

Racism has also become a topic in sport, with players and coaches speaking about a lack of opportunity for black people, while the Premier League has ordered shirts to don the Black Lives Matter message on the back instead of player names for the first round of matches after the restart.

“The PFA’s diversity is generally reflective of our membership. However, there are areas where we still need to improve,” the organisation said.

“While players such as Garth Crooks, Chris Powell, Clarke Carlisle, Jason Roberts and Darren Moore have previously chaired or sat on our management committee, the current cohort is not as diverse as it should be to reflect our membership.

“We will be in contact with members to encourage them to put themselves forward the next time the management committee renews.”
