The Liverpool striker Mario Balotelli got himself into FA's hot soup after his Instagram post on December 1st didn't go well with a lot of people who went on accusing him of being a racist. Balotelli posted the Super Mario cartoon above and write "...jumps like a black man and grab coins like a jew." He deleted the post a few hours due to the uproar from the people who were offended by it.
The Football Association found Mario's post offensive and its pressing charges racism and Anti-semitism against him, beside his apology and explanation on via Facebook that, the post was just an anti-racist humour,
In its words FA say,"It is alleged the Liverpool player breached FA Rule E3[1] in that his posting was abusive and/or insulting and/or improper.They went on to say,"It is further alleged that this is an 'Aggravated Breach' as defined by FA Rule E3[2] as it included a reference to ethnic origin and/or colour and/or race and/or nationality and/or religion or belief."Balotelli submitted his comment to the FA implicating that, he did mean to be a racial with the post since his is also many times a victim of racism on Dec 5. It looks like Liverpool is not even ready to sell the player come January besides the Football Association charges against him.
Just passing by zebra crossing.
