England forward Raheem Sterling defends gun tattoo

England footballer Raheem Sterling has defended his new tattoo of a gun, saying it has a "deeper meaning" and refers to his late father.

Anti-gun campaigners criticised the Manchester City forward after he shared a photo of himself with the tattoo of an M16 assault rifle on his leg.

The image has been called "totally unacceptable" and "sickening".

But Sterling said it reflects a vow he made to "never touch a gun" after his father was shot dead when he was a boy.

Sterling, 23, who will travel to Russia this summer as part of England's World Cup squad, first revealed his tattoo in a photo posted to Instagram of himself in training with team-mates at St George's Park.

Lucy Cope, who founded group Mothers Against Guns after her son was shot dead in 2012, said Sterling should not play for England unless he gets rid of the tattoo.

Speaking to the Sun newspaper, she said: "This tattoo is disgusting. Raheem should hang his head in shame. It's totally unacceptable.

"We demand he has the tattoo lasered off or covered up with a different tattoo.

"If he refuses he should be dropped from the England team. He's supposed to be a role model but chooses to glamorise guns."

Whatever his justification for doing it, it won't be perceived well, and its really not appropriate for a player representing their country

His reason for having the tattoo is ludicrous - pure B.S. - in my opinion.

Perhaps if she asked nicely she would have more chance of him taking any notice.
The tatt is personal to him, he could cover it up when playing for England, his choice.:shrug:

I neither like him nor dislike him - I don't know him or enough about him. I am only commenting on the tattoo - especially his B.S. reason for having it.

[Niamh.]

Who cares if he has a gun tattoo seriously?

Also, LT, I actually think tattoos look better on dark skinned people alot of the time

[Livia]

He's a footballer. Surely it's some kind of comment or symbol about "shooting"?

Seriously.... it's a picture. It can't hurt you.

well i dont know how you can think that when the primary ink is dark blue. It just looks fuzzy, with no detail and rather lost. Its like a poorly executed photograph with bad contrast and sharpness

The whole pointy of Indian Ink originally was the contrast on pale skin. If they could somehow develop a white ink then it would look effective :shrug:

[AnnieK]

Not quite sure what the problem is with it. Its a tattoo, not a real gun. Don't quite understand the outrage over it.

[Oliver_W]

He's a footballer. Surely it's some kind of comment or symbol about "shooting"?

I doubt it's a "black people are LITERALLY being shot for NO REASON" type thing as he's not American? So by football it would mean "soccer".

But yeah, it seems like a storm in a teacup really. I never heard of him before, I'll probably never think about him again.

Yes he can as long as it is covered

[Tom4784]

These kinds of campaigners do nothing but damage their cause. Going on the attack like this just makes them look like dicks and I don't think the tattoo itself is that bad, it's just a picture, not a statement or endorsement.

When you are trying to change the way things are, you do so through helping people understand why, through education, not by attacking people like this especially over something so inconsequential as this. When you look for reasons to attack, you no longer represent your cause, you're just looking to lash out.

[Amy Jade]

A pathetic campaign it is a blood drawing effectivly do these morons who want his job really not have anything else to fight for?

He has explained the tattoo and says it is an unfinished dedication to his father who was shot to death. The tattoo is to show he 'shoots' with his legs.

Today the Media is talking about

the power to get more youngsters

But Sterling said it reflects a vow he made to "never touch a gun" after his father was shot dead when he was a boy.

-------------------------

Yes, because if your father was "gunned down to death" when you were 2 i expect that when you get to 18 the thing you would want to do is look for a semi automatic gun

"just like what killed my old man"



but no Rahim did not, he got a tattoo of the illegal weapon that killed his father and put it in a terrible tattoo on his leg to remind him how his fathers assassin killed him and to remind him that if he wanted to kill someones dad he would do it by..kicking them to death?


:umm2:

The reason he gave for the tattoo is the only problem which I have - I do not care if he was covered in gun tattoos.

His reason is as stupid as saying;

My old man was a soldier in WW2 who died in a Japanese POW Camp so I've had a tattoo of Emperor Hirito on my chest.

B.S.

His reasons are his own, it doesn't really matter whether you think it's a stupid reason, it's his tattoo, his body and his reasoning.

Mine still has......

And the kids who look up to him on the football pitch will not see the tattoo as it will be covered by his socks. People making a massive deal out of this and publishing that one picture of him showing it are making it more known - had no one mentioned it, most people would not have a clue he has it.

Were he walking around with a gun slung over his shoulder I could get the concern but not a tattoo on his leg

There is no link, it's a tattoo. It cannot influence anyone to do anything.

So would it be ok if he were a white footballer with a gun tattoo? :think:

The same applies,

Kids are getting groomed
Kids getting recruited by extremists
Kids drawn into drugs

Sports stars get paid millions to wear clothes and shoes because kids will see them wearing it and want to have the same because they think that person is cool.

So having a gun tatoo will have some kids believe that guns are cool.

[Niamh.]

Yeah seeing a footballer with a gun tattoo is a gateway to being groomed by extremists

[thesheriff443]

There is no link, it's a tattoo. It cannot influence anyone to do anything.

So every time David beckham changed his hair style kids didn't ask for his new hair style.

Yeah no leak between kids wanting to be like pop stars movie stars or sports star.

Also, it's illegal to get a tattoo when you're a child anyway so they can't really copy that

Unless you're suggesting Raheem Sterling is using his Tattoo to recruit people to ISIS or something? i don't know

[kirklancaster]

His reasons are his own, it doesn't really matter whether you think it's a stupid reason, it's his tattoo, his body and his reasoning.

:laugh: Do you know no limits of hypocrisy?

By your reasoning above Tommy Robinson's reasons for being on the street outside the Court in Leeds are his own - it being his life, his choice, his video camera, and his reasoning' - and your opinion of why he was there "doesn't really matter".

Further; this a Serious Debates forum of which I am a member so unless you now actually own it besides just acting as if you do, then I have as much rights as you or any other member to express my opinions - one of which is that this footballer's reason for having the tattoo is STUPID.

Or is this yet another example of your duplicity; that you can crow about Human Rights, Civil Liberties and Equality when it suits your politics and your views but not when someone has the temerity to post an opinion or facts which do not align with your own?

[bots]

The issue that I have is that he is a representative of England, not just himself. My understanding is that it is a recent tattoo as it hasn't been finished yet. Given that he has been an "adult" for some time, why did he choose to get it done immediately prior to the world cup when he will have the biggest audience. It's all fine and well to say he can wear a sock to cover it up, but now everyone knows he has it and won't give a crap on his reasoning for it. It's clearly a thought out ploy .... why?

Damilola Taylor’s dad slams Raheem Sterling for reckless gun tattoo and demands he apologises to families of gun victims

THE dad of Damilola Taylor yesterday urged England’s Raheem Sterling to apologise over his gun tattoo — for the sake of the kids who idolise him.

Richard Taylor, whose ten-year-old son was killed in a street attack, said: “I’m totally against Sterling’s decision to glamorise guns.

https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/nintchdbpict000409643749.jpg?w=960

“Footballers need to be aware kids look up to them. He must apologise to the families of gun victims.”

Richard, 70, accused Sterling of recklessly glamorising a gun culture that is claiming the lives of youngsters and bringing misery to families.

He said the striker’s decision to show off a tattoo of an M16 assault rifle on his leg was “totally unacceptable” — and set a terrible example to his impressionable young fans.

He added: “Enough is enough from these footballers. They need to be aware young people look up to them.

https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/nintchdbpict000409404995.jpg?w=960

“Too many times they have been part of the problem of guns and knives and gangs and drugs in our communities.”

Richard said Manchester City star Sterling’s behaviour was particularly irresponsible at a time when gun and knife-related deaths have risen sharply.

He added: “This is not a time to be glamorising guns — when we have more than 60 dead on the streets of London this year.

“They have become toys in the hands of our youths. This is a critical time when we’ve got all hands on deck to stop the violence.

TV pundit and misguided SJW twat Gary Lineker tweeted: “Unique to this country to attempt to destroy our players’ morale before a major tournament. It’s weird, unpatriotic and sad.”

But Richard, awarded an OBE in 2011 for campaigning against violent crime, said: “Gary Lineker’s comments are extremely disappointing.

“I am really annoyed at him. It undermines everything we are trying to do to stop the violence.


“Is England’s performance at the World Cup more important than young lives lost on London’s streets? Lineker doesn’t know the pain of parents who have lost children to violence.”

Richard’s son Damilola was 10 when he bled to death after being attacked in Peckham, South East London, in 2000.

and to answer your question, I personally don't like it one bit, but she is not representing her country on a supposedly politics free world stage

[Crimson Dynamo]

I would assume he had a crap tattooist who'd left out the "fantas" :hee:

and the "In arney r great"



:hee:

[Beso]

Wonder what her excuse is, somewhere to shoot maybe.

Still no word on people's reaction to Rihanna's tattoos.

How the f....

I am having a breakdown I'm sure of it. Or maybe it's early onset dementia or something. I think the technical term might be I've suddenly got sh1t for brains.

[Niamh.]

tbf you can actual own a gun in America so what's the problem with a tattoo of one, it should be the actual ones people are worried about :laugh:

[Livia]

I agree Niamh. It's the shooty-bang ones you have to worry about. That is the level of my vocabulary today.

I think its the fact he lied about his dead dad

That twat got a semi-auto on his leg simply because "my leg shoots like a gun innit?"

:bored:

Tattoos can look amazing especially the right ink and the perfect design and it's like a work of art .

However some other tattoos can look ugly & tacky and although I've never understand the fascination with gun tattoos and I find them tacky, you can't tell people what they should and shouldn't tattoo on their skin / body :facepalm: .

I understand people not liking it ,I personally don't like gun tattoos either. But like mentioned there's a few celebrities and people in general with gun tattoos .

So was I correct that his reason for having the tattoo was illogical B.S.?

[Vicky.]

Big fuss about nothing. And interesting point about Rihanna too. Seems some just want to take offense to this particular person? Why? Also yes to the moaners being the ones who publicized this anyway. His socks will cover most/all of it anyway.

However I do agree with those saying the reason he is giving for getting it seems...bull****.

[Denver]

I wonder what his 10 kids thought of it

There is a difference but it happens in both cases.

Got any examples of people seeing a tattoo and deciding to become a terrorist then?

[Tom4784]

There's a massive difference, one is someones reason for choosing a tattoo, the other is following around Muslims constantly to prove how bad they are, one is in prison, the other is a professional athlete

Tommy Robinson also endangered the trial of a peadophile ring by giving them ammunition for a mistrial and potentially risked the anonymity of their underage victims but that's okay because he hates muslims, I guess?

This topic isn't ultimately about Tommy Robinson, I can already see that he is becoming the new Corbyn...being dragged into every thread for petty point scoring whether it suits the topic or not.

[Tom4784]

Would a picture of his father not have been a better idea than the thing that killed him?

It's up to him how he decides to pay tribute to his own father. Would you like someone telling you how to pay tribute or grieve for someone you've lost?

He is lying, the gun is because he thinks his leg is a gun and the ball a bullet

he got called out and caught for being a crass idiot and has even brought in his dead dad to cover his sorry ass

as I am quite sure you know..

Okay, you're obviously an expert on the inner working of his brain and the choices he makes regarding his own body. You obviously know his mind better than he does. You're an expert on the man.

Getting a tattoo of a gun is much worse :oh:

[Brother Leon]

The whole point of the tattoo is that instead of grabbing a gun as he got older and falling off the rails with the loss of his father, he worked hard to make him proud and now instead his right foot is essentially what he shoots with.

It’s honestly not that hard to grasp.
