Balotelli shares "racist" and "anti-semitic" joke, risking FA investigation

FA is a joke with this PC nonsense. Same with those French Muslim Footballers who did the Quenelle gesture that's meant to be an anti-establishment gesture. Of course it offended Jews, which is revealing that they see themselves as the establishment isn't it?

Can't believe it's being investigated. His foster mum is actually Jewish so I highly doubt he's genuinely anti-Semitic. It's a joke, people make jokes about Irish people drinking too much, Italians being members of the mafia etc, and they don't get investigated. It's just banter. Think of all the Jewish jokes in Family Guy or South Park, written by Jewish writers, Jews love self-deprecation and having a laugh at themselves.

He ought to show a bit more tact than to make negative comments about Jews.

One difference - Italians and Irish people weren't the recent subjects of genocide, nor do they (generally) face repeated ongoing violence for merely being Italian and Irish.

His stepmum is Jewish, so pretty plainly, he isn't and yeah, people poke fun at their own origins, but there's a difference between that and other people doing it.

A lot of 'PC' is actually just plain common decency.

this exact reaction to the jews following the holocaust is what allows zionist israelis to commit genocide in Gaza

A bien pensant meme promoting a Japanese created "Italian plumber" who "looks like a Mexican" and speaks English is considered "anti-racist", but the double standards of the PC stasi are once again deployed when it is adapted to account for blacks and Jews.



Mario Balotelli could face a Football Association investigation after posting what appeared to be an image on his social media feed that included an allegedly offensive reference to race and Judaism.

The Italian posted an image about gaming character Super Mario with the words that he "jumps like a black man and grabs coins like a jew".

The Liverpool striker quickly defended his actions on Twitter, though he also deleted the original Instagram post.

"My Mom is jewish so all of u shut up please," the Italian tweeted after receiving complaints about his original post.

Despite deleting the post Balotelli could still face FA action.

In 2012 Rio Ferdinand was charged by the game's governing body for a tweet which used the phrase "choc ice" which the FA said "was improper and/or bought the game into disrepute by making comments which included a reference to ethnic origin and/or colour and/or race".
Ferdinand was subsequently fined £45,000 after an independent regulatory commission found proven a charge of improper conduct.
