MARIO BALOTELLI APOLOGISES FOR ANTI RACIST CARTOON WHICH GOT HIM IN TROUBLE

Being a celebrity is one hell of a huge task. You have to be careful and weary of the kind of messages you put out online.

The  Football Association have  asked Mario Balotelli to explain the  alleged anti-Semitic comments which appeared on his Instagram account and went viral on Monday. If found guilty , he could be asked to pay a fine or be banned on five matches.

Balotelli reposted an image of the computer game character Super Mario which read: ‘Don’t be racist — be like Mario. He’s an Italian plumber created by Japanese people who speaks English and looks like a Mexican. ‘jumps like a black man and grabs coins like a Jew.’
After a huge backlash by observers and fans, Mario took to twitter to apologise saying 

‘I apologise if I have offended anyone… I now understand that out of context may have the opposite effect. Not all Mexicans have moustache, not all black people jump high and not all Jewish people love money.
‘I used a cartoon by someone else because it has Super Mario and I thought it was funny and not offensive. I am sorry.’
