That he way the media reports stories about black players (Ie generally negatively) encourages racism of the type he has had to endure and he cites two different stories about young Man City players (one being Foden, another being a young, black player I’ve not heard of) buying £2 million mansions for their mums as an example. In fairness, they are reported differently although you could argue the toss over whether the reason for that is race or trying to highlight the nonsense that kids who’ve not even played a first team game can afford a £2 million house!
