Yes, quite agree. Part of the extended Liverpool love-in amongst the media. However, what is more insidious is the way Sterling is being rehabilitated by the same newspapers and TV stations. In essence, he behaves like a petulant, greedy little brat stamping his feet and clapping his hands until he gets what he wants (even more money that he hasn't got time enough to spend) and now he is being painted as this sweet lad who really didn't want to cause anybody any offence. Nauseating and quite troubling all at the same time.
