Mario Balotelli is a Black Italian soccer player of Ghanaian descent who plays for Inter Milan and is considered to be one of the most talented young forwards in the game. Juventus fans made racist jungle noises towards Balotelli during the match Juventus - Inter on 5-12-2009 in Turin, Italy.

ESPN did a whole special on racism in soccer...they show a lot worse than this....there's no sense trying to deny it happens there. In countries where the people look almost exclusively white, they aren't as strict about it as over here.


On another note, that show on MTV is hilarious, but I don't see how it's being racist because they are doing it themselves and no one is trying to insult their nationality.

the racist fans are england not italy !! they threw banana's on the field !! italians though are never shy when it comes to speaking their minds, they dont even like certain italians so thats their culture over there and there is a sizable black population in rome !!


as far as that dopey mtv show its been offensive enough to where advitisers have abandoned the show and they had to stop calling italians guido's !! i read about it in the paper yesterday and they showed some guy punching a girl in a bar and thats not offensive or a stereotype that italians beat their women ?? that isnt entertainment aj its sick !! i personally i am a gentleman, i hold doors open for women etc.. but seeing these young girls on tv today and how agressive they are with guys, girls, cops etc.. and acting worse then men i cant say i was offended by one finally getting smacked and realise that if theyre gonna act like men instead of women then theyre gonna be treated like one !!
