Last week was a week of weird press reaction to events not so significant.
First, the English press let loose on Manchester City’s Raheem Sterling for having a gun tattoo on his right leg. The outrage and angst that greeted the sensational disclosure reached such a crescendo that some even suggested the player should be banned from representing his country at the World Cup.
Self-publicist and TV presenter of Good Morning Britain, Piers Morgan also became embroiled, suggesting it was not OK for an England football star to tattoo a large assault rifle onto his leg before a World Cup, where it will be seen by billions of people.
