Along with the many who gave their thoughts on the video, the likes of Rio Ferdinand and Ian Wright have lead calls on Twitter that Sterling received racist abuse…

Utterly vile, should never be allowed near a football ground again.

What can you expect from Chelsea fans?

Nobody should be subject to this.
Banter is 1 thing.
Abuse is another especially in this manner.— mark white (@saintmark22) December 8, 2018
However there were some that have defended the Chelsea fan shouting his mouth off…
Could be saying “manc”

Don’t tweet something when you don’t know ? what was said Rio, as a lot of replies say, it looks like he says manc

Even though there’s a big “black” fella stood right in the middle of them and doesn’t say a word? ? He doesn’t even look at them !!! Surely if what your saying was said he would at least show something ??♂️ utter bollocks from Rio

Listen I’m a United fan, and I don’t really care for City or Chelsea, but let’s have it right, it looks clear to me he’s saying Manc not black..if he’s said black, then he should be banned for life because there’s no place anywhere for that! But genuinely feel he’s said Manc

I was quite close to this and we were giving him shit for what looked like an awful foul on luiz before. I didn’t hear anything racist
— Dave Sampson (@davesamo26) December 8, 2018
Dont think they said anything racist tbh, could be wrong (and if i am then theres no place for it in football)but theres a black guy giving him greif too, maybe just hating on sterling because he is a massive bell end and not because of his colour??

This isn't racist at all. C'mon, it's some passion from the fans. When fans are taking pictures of the player's , people say there's no more passion or hostility towards opposing players. But when they do show passion, it's labelled as racism. C'mon, grow up
