I can't find it, but someone on my Twitter posted a photo of Steven Taylor wearing this the other day. :lol: What an absolute clip of a person. How's he not embarrassed.

Is that really offensive to anyone though?

 

I would say that it is generally "white" people who are trying to appear perfectly NOT racist that seem to take the most offence at stuff like that.

 

 

Jews aren't a race and are predominantly white anyway :lol: It's just more negative, anti-semitic stereotyping and you've completely missed the point.

 

How have I missed the point?  Balotelli posted that as a joke, if anything he should be the one to be offended that this is even being investigated - he has been racially abused on a regular basis throughout his entire life / career!

But, if you are saying the joke is OK except for the bit that suggests that Jewish people, as a religious stereotype, are fond of money then I have to say I am sorry.  I am quite keen on money myself, so replace Jew with a picture of me grabbing coins and the world is good again.....

Not really like :lol:

 

Like KI says it's just daft. Balloteli quite obviously doesn't mean anything by it, he's just an idiot, but it would be pretty inconsistent if everyone just went "ooooooooooooohhhhhhh MARRRIOOOO! Not again!" before ruffling his hair and calling him a scamp. If anyone is genuinely offended by it, despite knowing this, then they're even bigger idiots like.

They aren't buying from the club, they're buying off ticket holders on a legal online auction site.
