I am not a football fan……I’d prefer watching entertainment, fashion, movies and if I’ll ever sit to watch a game of football it’s because I just want to please my husband or I just want to admire the muscles ‘macho’, hairstyles, jerseys ….not necessarily following the game…..I know I am not alone on this one! And when I read this article online I was worried because it involved a baby and the picture made me really uncomfortable. Continue to see picture of baby.
The parents of an English baby have been criticised for blackening the face of their child to look like former Manchester City footballer Mario Balotelli. Balotelli, an Italian of Ghanaian descent, is well-known for his trademark bleached mo-hawk (love the hairstyle) and erratic behaviour on and off the pitch.In a bizarre tribute to the striker, the baby’s face was smeared with chocolate and a sponge was attached to his head. The baby even wore a top bearing the slogan ‘Why Always Me?’, similar to the shirt Balotelli famously wore in a match against Manchester United 18 months ago.
The picture was posted on Twitter and has been retweeted thousands of times.
The Mirror is reporting the baby’s father is a fan of City’s arch rivals United. Neither the father nor Balotelli have commented on the matter.
So now I ask why didn’t the father take his ‘rivalry’ somewhere else…..leave the innocent baby alone! The picture doesn’t look right at all.
