Raheem Sterling spoke out this week against the tabloid press for ‘fuelling racism’ with their coverage of his wealth. He sparked a much wider conversation about how much we really support minority success stories on and off the pitch. Tina Daheley speaks to two people either side of the story, Juventus and former England footballer Eniola Aluko and BBC Sport broadcaster Hugh Woozencroft, about the role of the media and how we frame the conversation around black people who make it.
