Footballer, Raheem Sterling Sparks Outrage After Unveiling Assault Rifle Tattoo On His Leg (Photos)
A famous footballer, Raheem Sterling, has sparked fury after he unveiled the tattoo of an assault rifle on his leg.
Raheem Sterling, a professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Premier League club, Manchester City and the English national team, has triggered the fury of anti-gun campaigners – by unveiling a new tattoo of an M16 assault rifle on his right leg.
In fact, they called for the striker, 23, to be dropped from the England World Cup squad, with one saying: “That tattoo is sick.”
An anti-gun campaigning mum whose son was shot dead said Sterling’s new tattoo is “an absolute disgrace.”
Lucy Cope, 63, of Mothers Against Guns, said it was “sickening” he was showing off the inking to his Instagram followers — many of them impressionable youngsters.
And she called for the 23-year-old Manchester City striker to be dropped from England’s World Cup squad unless he gets rid of it.
She added: “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.”
Sterling, a child when his dad was shot dead in Jamaica, shared a picture of the new design on his right leg with his 3.6million Instagram followers.
It was taken as he trained with England in Burton, Staffs.
