Mario Balotelli has been charged by the FA for posting an allegedly abusive or insulting image to his Instagram account. The Liverpool forward submitted examples of the discrimination he has suffered to the FA but that has not stopped English football's governing body from taking action. The picture posted by Balotelli depicted the computer game character Super Mario and the message: 'Don't be racist � be like Mario. He's an Italian plumber created by Japanese people who speaks English and looks like a Mexican.'
