Re: Mario Balotelli - "The City fans always want me"
BUT, pundits protect him massively. Rooney was terrible in the Euros, but nothing seemed to be mentioned by Hansen or the that Lawronson. No one mentioned how sucking stupid Rooney was for getting sent off in a nothing qualifier and missing the first 2 games.
Now a player who is protected by the media and pundits a like is Jack Wishere. No doubt the lad looks a cracking player, but hasn't he been arrested twice, yet is still seen as a model pro. He may be young, granted, but so is Balotelli, yet they seem to be measured by different moral spectrum.
I'd have to disagree slightly, as the media do write articles on Rooney, even on innocent things which they try and twist. He doesn't help himself but he is targeted by the papers. They do the same with Balotelli.prairiemoon said:IMO, Mario will always be targeted while Shrek will be protected from the bad press because Shrek is English and heaven forbid a black Italian is better.
But it will be clear to everyone, eventually. Mario is far superior to any English striker playing today.
Sorry, that's just the way it is.
