Mario Balotelli sorry for 'offensive' social media post
On Monday, Mario Balotelli posted a picture in social media which caused uproar. below, was the picture he posted and later removed due to the stick he received virally. The picture seems like a funny picture to prevent racism, but the bottom of the picture says "and grabs coins like a Jew." This is the part of the picture people found racist.
In my opinion, I believe, it was a good gesture, received in the wrong way. This is because Mario Balotelli later claimed his mother is Jewish, implying, the was no malice in the picture, and it was just a little bit of a joke for a good cause.Due to the comments he received, Balotelli later took it down and apologised as he realised how his picture could have been taken out of context. I think it should have not got this much publicity on the news, because it wasn't that major. Its just another reason for Mario Balotelli to receive negative publicity.
