http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/liverpool-fc-fans-hit-back-5305971 Media would have gone mad. Even when the story is about Welbeck getting racists tweets, the media talk more about Chelsea. 54 words on Welbeck and 68 words texture about Chelsea. Or this: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/31818499
The problem is, it becomes a bigger story the more stories that precede it (what I like to call the 'suarez effect'!!). So yes had any of these been Chelsea 'fans' it would have become a bigger story. Regardless though, it continues to amaze me how people don't engage their brain before posting such puerile nonsense on social media. Jeez the guy was praying at half time not during the game itself, and even if he was, so what!?!? Don't want to use this to beat United or Liverpool fans with, just more examples of the morons in our society.
Spolier alert: the BBC will now put this at the end of every article about Chelsea/fans/social media. Get used to it and ignore it. Last year the BBC couldn't write a single word about Suarez without adding a paragraph at the end about his rule E3 charge.
Well I do know that when C4 news were doing a report about the Paris tube incident involving Chelsea fans and they wanted to make a point about the clubs and players not setting a good example on racism issues, to illustrate this Jackie Long cited the example of... Suarez. Perhaps she couldn't think of any Chelsea players who'd been involved in a racism controversy.
