Balotelli Apologises Over 'Anti-Semitic' Pic

Written By Unknown on Selasa, 02 Desember 2014 | 18.55

Liverpool and Italy player Mario Balotelli has apologised after posting a picture online which was labelled racist and anti-Semitic.

Quickly deleted from the player's Instagram page, the internet meme shows Nintendo character Super Mario and contains the words "jumps like a black man and grabs coins like a Jew".

As criticism mounted, Balotelli wrote on his Twitter page: "My Mom is jewish so all of u shut up please."

But he later tweeted an apology, saying: "I apologise if I've offended anyone.

"The post was meant to be anti-racist with humour. I now understand that out of context may have the opposite effect. Not all Mexicans have moustaches, not all black people jump high and not all Jewish people love money."

A spokesman for Liverpool said: "We are aware of the posting which has since been promptly deleted by the player.

"We will be speaking to the player about the issue."

It is the latest controversial incident involving the 24-year-old and the image prompted several accusations of racism on social media.

One Twitter user, @TomEllis98, said in response to the post: "Does Balotelli realise what he put on Instagram is racist?"

Another, @gedbrand10, wrote: "Mario Balotelli faces investigation by the FA for an anti-Semitic post on Instagram earlier today. He'll never, ever learn."
