Balotelli accepts FA charge of social media misconduct

Mario Balotelli's anti-semitism and racism-suggestive instagram post continues to generate more dust as the Liverpool striker respond to the Football Association charge. The image post of Nintendo game character 'Mario' which indirectly insulted Jewish and black people had long been deleted by the former AC Milan striker. The Italian submitted a letter of mitigation without requesting hearing. Earlier, Balotelli had denied in a tweet that the post was offensive but afterward had apologised. Mario Balotelli has scored no Premier league goal for Liverpool since his £16m transfer from AC Milan in the summer.
