The Official UEFA Euro 2012 Thread

[LucaBrasi]

Y'all some confused brothers in this forum... damn, Not all of y'all of course but some of those comments on Balotelli I've read are so OFF...

LET ME SET THE RECORD STRAIGHT

1.Italians love Balotelli like any other italian player

2. Nobody in Italy gives a FVCK he's black everytime he's been criticized it's been because of his outrageous behavior

3.Why would he love a family who didn't give a shyt about him till he scored two goals against Juventus and blew up?

 

[Eoin]

nope.

born in italy to ghanian parents, but he had some medical trouble that his family couldn't afford, so italian parents took him in. until he became famous, his biological familar wanted him back.

here's his actual fam

So all that racist abuse he suffered while playing in italy was simply affectionate.

yo is he close with his biological siblings?? I hope so..

 

[Roger Sterling]

you never know with white folks. they might have put that in his head, were those itws videotaped or just on paper ?
all his antics make it obvious that he's been looking real hard for acceptance from those Italians. I wonder how long he'll be able to keep the rebellious act going.

Would be tough to "put into his head" the fact that his biological family never approached him until he signed for a big club despite their claims to the contrary (for reference, they gave him up at around two-years-old). I've watched his interviews on television, listened to them on radio, etc. He's quite adamant about them being phonies.

I don't see how you can interpret his behaviour as primed towards gaining acceptance when they've done the exact opposite, actually. He's made himself a black sheep, no pun, with outlandish "antics" and, previously, a perceived bad attitude.

Italy is kinda racist breh, im not saying they don't love him but there's a community of people rady to see him fail..but for the most part you are right.

And i agree about the family thing, if they were involved in his life everyone would know it..and after you get 18 theres nothing your guardians can do about you wanting to see/be with your biological parents. If they never showed any inclination to him that they wanted to be in his life then fukk em.

And so what if thats who he views are his parents....too many babies of all colors walking around this planet and don't know what that kinda love is...if he feels like thats his family that loves him so the fukk what

Let's not get too carried away. There are, of course, those in Italy that dislike him because of his skin colour. Are they anywhere close to being a majority? Absolutely not, but they exist, the same as they would in any country where blacks are a tiny minority. No need to make blanket statements about a rosy acceptance. Having said that, there's no doubt that his behaviour's played some part in stirring ill-will towards him, particularly from a section of Juve ultras - "se saltelli muore balotelli", racist chants leading to fines and what not.

 

[nomoreneveragain]

The point is if they didn't give him away, he'd probably be buried some where.

I'm not taking nothing away from his adopted parents, they took him in and raised him; they weren't on that Michael Jordan no ***** movement.

Just show a little love to the people who brought you in this world and kept you breathing.

 

[Savior]

you guys are fukking losers calling botelli a c00n, most of you know nothing about soccer let alone his situation with his parents. You know nothing about this man yet your assuming he's turning his back on his family with your absurd assumptions. It's pathetic how badly some people want to tear another man down.

ain't nobody calling him a c00n except a butthurt english faggit....and damn his sister's fine

I've watched his interviews on television, listened to them on radio, etc. He's quite adamant about them being phonies.

I was asking if his biological parents ever got to tell their side of the story on tv too not just some stories written in some paper.

I don't see how you can interpret his behaviour as primed towards gaining acceptance when they've done the exact opposite, actually. He's made himself a black sheep, no pun, with outlandish "antics" and, previously, a perceived bad attitude.

I said it appears that his behaviour is in reaction to him not being accepted.

 

[Gilver]

I was being tongue in cheek with the c00n thing, but literally everyone in the thread has agreed with it so hell...maybe it was right?

 

[yoyoyo1]

I'm a bit confused, what crackkkas are mad, exactly?
