Aston Villa fan banned from video games for racially abusing England's Raheem Sterling
AN Aston Villa fan has been banned from video games for 3 years for racially abusing England star Raheem Sterling.
Timothy Hyslop, 54, yelled a racist slur whereas the Chelsea man was on the ball throughout the first half of their Premier League conflict in October.
He admitted a racially aggravated part 5 public order offence at Birmingham magistrates’ courtroom on Tuesday.
Hyslop, of Burton, Staffs, was given a three-year soccer banning order and ordered to pay fines and prices of £538.
PC Stuart Ward of West Midlands Police — the UK’s first devoted soccer hate crime officer — mentioned: “This type of behaviour is not going to be tolerated.
“Abusing anybody for the color of their pores and skin is disgusting.
“There is no place for racism in football or society in general.”
