Raheem Sterling upset after British newspaper labels Jamaica as ‘gun-filled slum’
Jamaican born England winger Liverpool star Raheem Sterling has taken exception to a recent headline in the Sun Newspaper that referred to his native country as a ‘gun-filled slum.
The Liverpool star tweeted: “‘Raheem Sterling: from gun-filled Jamaican slum to Anfield hero.’ #onlyonenewspaper would come up with a story like this.
He went on to say “Jamaica equals paradise.”
The ‘Sun’ is despised in Liverpool for its coverage of the Hillsborough disaster.
The Sun Newspaper had run a story on the 19-year-old winger on his rise from teenage talent to England star.
Sterling was born in Jamaica but moved with his mother to England aged five, and he remains extremely fond of the country.
Sterling who is now dubbed the golden boy of English football was electrifying again on Monday as England began their European championship qualifying campaign with a 2-0 win over Switzerland.
