Raheem Sterling
Status: Eliminated
All worthy winners in their achievements but #RaheemSterling wins hands down in the 'personality' stakes. His brave & open stand against #racism has given courage for others to speak up too.
#SPOTY
Sunday eve it's
#SPOTY sport has the power to inspire,unite & entertain! @sterling7 well deserved nom for speaking out against the racism still plaguing football & the world. So many brave stories so plse donate to @sportrelief Good luck finalists u have all earned the right
Raheem Sterling has had a phenomenal year. Definitely deserves to win. #SPOTY
I wonder if there are Liverpool fans out there voting for any other #spoty candidate than Raheem Sterling, so that he doesn't win it.
Brilliant words from @sterling7 on
Well done for speaking out

#raheemsterling won't win #SPOTY but he transcends sport. That interview, almost ignoring his sporting prowess, showed how important he is.
Be funny if after a this build up the person who wins isn't even there. #Sterling #SPOTY
Be quite funny if Raheem Sterling wins and they've cycled the trophy from Cardiff to Aberdeen when they only needed to take it to London. #SPOTY
Would Love Sterling to win #SPOTY
Have to say I'm pretty appauled that Lucy Bronze didn't even get a nomination... Raheem is a good footballer but not 2nd best in the world like Bronze #SPOTY
Only reason Sterling won't win #SPOTY is down to people not being able to put down their football rivalries and accept he had an immense season. & with cricket nobody really knows which clubs each player plays for so they're just seen as 'English' players
Good luck @sterling7 at #SPOTY
good luck @sterling7 #SPOTY #SPOTY19
Hope Sterling wins #SPOTY
Voted for @sterling7 for #SPOTY The lads got my vote, even as a united Fan
Raheem didn't find your joke funny Gary. Learn from that #SPOTY
Voted for @sterling7 for #SPOTY The lads got my vote, even as a united Fan
Arsenal so desperate to be in with a chance of getting a trophy this season, they've ensured Raheem Sterling stays there for #SPOTY Good to see the crowd stayed behind too.
Watching #SPOTY still baffled as to how @sterling7 gets a shortlist nomination ahead of an achieving @adam_peaty who has smashed swimming over and over. All other nominations are well worthy of their achievements.
Back in the day @BBCSport would have shied away from mentioning race in the context of #SPOTY. But by making it the main focus of @sterling7's profile, has @GaryLineker boosted his chances or dealt them a fatal blow? Which way will the Great British public go? #SPOTY19
Sterling is the only one who should win this #SPOTY
imagine if sterling doesn't win... #SPOTY
Sterling should win. Became the best english footballer and took the fight to racism like no one else in sport this year. #SPOTY
I think Sterling will win #SPOTY Nostrabeavus
Come on @sterling7 hope you get #SPOTY #MCFC
#SPOTY is tough this year. All six deserve to win it. But I think that, in addition to his sporting achievements, because of the way he has spoken out on various subjects, inc racism, @sterling7 edges it for me.
#SPOTY If Dennis Law doesn't back heel the award to Raheem then I'm done.
Raheem Sterling nominated on the basis of his skin colour. All well and good.
But don't let the fact that he couldn't hit a barn door from 2yds on the international stage cloud your judgement.
#spoty
Raheem Sterling nominated because of a Hat-Trick.. lol talk about scraping the barrel #SPOTY
Come on blues vote for our @sterling7 #spoty
Love that from @GaryLineker hammering @sterling7 live on tv #SPOTY
You gotta love Raheem Sterling. Like even if you don't support Man City you just gotta respect him #SPOTY
Can't understand how sterling is even in this, just a footballer, these guys are world champions #SPOTY
Raheem Sterling top class interview on #sportspersonalityoftheyear
Absolutely no chance Raheem is winning this is there #SPOTY
Dennis Law giving the prize...it must be Sterling....
Princess Anne giving the prize...it must be Horsey McHorseface...
#SPOTY
Raheem Sterling is one of the most likeable footballers I've ever come across. #SPOTY
Listening to Lineker and Sterling on racism. IMO players should not go around saying "white is beautiful" or as was the case with Sterling "black is beautiful ". It in itself fuels racism.
#sportspersonalityoftheyear
Come on Razzz #sportspersonalityoftheyear @sterling7
#SPOTY
Great to see @sterling7
Reported a recent anti-semetic football incident to @Facebook, @NorfolkPolice
Disappointed that @NorwichCityFC didn't feel the need to pursue it. No response from Facebook
#kickitout won't work unless everyone shares the same view
@SpursOfficial
People will blame the Tories if Sterling wins Sports personality of the year #sportspersonalityoftheyear #spoty
Interesting to compare the support given to @sterling7 in standing up against racism against the cowardice shown by @Arsenal when @MesutOzil1088 spoke up against state institutional Islamophobia in China. #spoty
Raheem Sterling deserves a lot of respect! Clearly well thought off by his team mates and his manager #SPOTY
Vote raz now #spoty #raheemsterling #mcfc
I voted for Raheem Sterling for #SPOTY
What off field activities are you proud of Raheem? Is it when you attacked a team mate in a canteen? Scratching him like a little girl #SPOTY #unprovoked #coward
Sterling is Martin Luther King, apparently. #SPOTY
Sterling gets my vote #SPOTY
Never was an awards event so misleadingly named as #sportspersonalityoftheyear
From @GaryLineker to @sterling7 to the audience....it's a wake not a celebration of sporting achievement. @BBCSPOTY
