I think that in line with Sterling’s thoughts on black player coverage the media have been
Out of order with this, in particular the photo of his house and details of his wife and daughters names. That is completely out of order when nothing has been proven. The “trial by social media” in this country is getting out of hand and just generally needs to stop before someone is killed or seriously injured as a consequence. As Karnivore has said below people like Saed whipping up a hate mob need to understand the consequences of their actions and I’m not just taking about this incident but a whole host of political and public life incidents in recent years where people have had their lives basically destroyed before any charges have been brought let alone proven.
I see the Sun has now published another story about him focusing/leading on an admittedly unwisely worded Facebook comment he made about the Chelsea fans on the tube train in Paris (basically bemoaning the fact one had been sacked before anything had been proven) before at the very end of the story they casually reveal that they have commissioned two independent lip reading experts who both have concluded he said “manc.”
That is not responsible reporting either. If it is proven he was racist then throw the (legal) book at him but until then the lynch mob need to stand down.
