The cynical part of me would probably agree with you but that's not Sterling's fault.  He can only say or do what he thinks his best when he perceives racist sentiments towards black players.  For that, I respect him.

I'm not saying it is his fault. I just don't believe the award is a reflection of anyone's believe that he's the best player in the country (which he clearly isn't), nor is it some sign of respect for what he's said regarding racism.

I've not read the whole thread so apologies if I am repeating a perspective already raised by others, but, whatever one thinks of the ill advised player and his agent, the club have played this appall

Completely off topic, but I always think those shots would make great deodorant adverts.   "Do you worry about embarrassing under arm stains when saluting the fuehrer?"   They could even call it R

For me there's an objective argument that he's been one of the best attacking players this season based on the numbers he's putting up for goals/assists and his all round game, which has matured considerably under Guardiola. 

 

It may or may not be a sign of respect for his views promoting anti-racism, I don't know either way, but assuming you're correct then I still don't begrudge him the award.  I just think it reflects better on us Liverpool fans in this instance if we say "fair enough, well played".  It makes us look a bit petty and smalltime otherwise.

I just don’t think, objectively, he’s been city’s best player, or better than a number of our best players. He’s had a great season, fair enough, well played, and he made a stand on racism - good to see. Lots of players are taking a principled stance on the issue and that’s very welcome.
