LMAO........Hahahahahahaha! This Mario is sure a Comedian and got good sense of humour. The picture at the right side above is what is posted. I just wanna ask, does it mean this English FA can't see the humour in the write up?
Anyway, English FA seem not to think so. The Liver
Pool striker Mario Balotelli has been charged by the Football
Association
for posting an image of the Nintendo character, Super Mario on instagram
and writing "jumps like a black man and
grabs coins like a jew” on Dec. 1, which many people however said they found offensive and accused him of Racism and Antisemitism.
Balotelli deleted the image after it caused a lot of controversy, denied the accusations of racism and issued an apology on Facebook to people who found the pic offensive.
Ballotelli
has submitted his observation of the post to the FA committee on Friday, Dec. 5th,
stating he had no intention of being racial with the photo and
that he has also been a victim of racial attacks before. He
was subsequently charged under rule E3, which cites as “aggravating
factors” references to ethnic origin, colour, race, nationality, faith,
gender, sexual orientation or disability.
The
FA in its charge said “It is alleged the Liverpool player breached FA
Rule E3 (1) in that his posting was abusive and/or insulting and/or
improper. 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.
The player has until 6pm on 15 December 2014 to respond to the charge.”
