Newspapers

Spurs face FA inquiry after fan throws banana skin at Arsenal’sAubameyang

The Guardian 

This news story represents  black people, it negatively supports the fact that racism is still around today, but still in football. To sum the story a Tottenham fan threw a banana peel at Aubameyung (Arsenal's top scorer, who is also an african Gabonese football player). The fan and Tottenham have been charged by the FA, and the fan was arrested and banned from games. 

The angle in the picture on the guardian website frames the banna skin and cuts the players heads of and we only see the banna and a dolly shot of Aubameyang's legs. The headline gets to the point and literally explains the main story at head, which adds the seriousness element. The article includes quotes from tottenham staff apologising on behalf of the fan.  The Guardian are a left wing newspaper so they are likely to hugely support anti- Racism.
Racism in football have been a big thing in football down the years. A number of Black football players have experienced racism in football.








Daily Mail

Tottenham fan arrested for throwing banana on the pitch as Arsenal forward Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang celebrates goal in North London derby

Daily Mail are a right wing newspaper, so they tend not care a lot about ethnicity equality and more about capitalism and politics.  This headline is more lighthearted than the Guardians. 
 The article doesn't accuse the fan as much as the guardian does. They are abrupt to make the point that it isn't confirmed that it was a racial offence. 
 They have identical images to the Gurdian, but they don't cut out aubameyangs legs as they show the full image, this connotes that they don't care that much about the banana. There is also another image of a banana in the air making its way to the players, the guardian also used this image. 


The Independent

The independent is an impartial newspaper it is both right and left wing.
