All the other players you mentioned, they are model professionals, they all act the way you want them to act. Balotelli can be arrogant and petulant and puts himself in your face for good or bad. I never mentioned any of the other players, because like I said, Balotelli has an in your face attitude, he is much more in your face.
You're telling me because he is petulant and immature, that is what is drawing all this hatred? I don't buy it. Someone gets subbed and is pissed about it, throws his snood down ... that gets ranting posts about how he can fuck off and this and that, he's a disgrace, he's whatever. There's something more to it then just people not liking his attitude, that much is clear.
Also, you can calm down with your anti-brit, bigot witch hunt. Same situation exists in the USA, all over the world in fact, there's no denying that. I don't think Americans in general are any better. So, there's that out of the way, maybe we can address a serious subject.
How do you know what colour the posters critricising Balotelli are? For you to automatically assume they are all white (& British) makes your comments much more likely to be racist & bigoted than theirs.
And for your information, very few of the rags I know were sad to see Ronaldo go, some fucking hated him & thought he brought embarrassment to the club, but you wouldn't know that as you're sat in another fucking country, telling people you've never met, what their motives are when criticising a player on a football forum.
The most likely racist on this thread is you.
