The Complete History of Mario Balotelli's Shenanigans

Soccer, perhaps more than any other sport, has known its share of remarkably volatile personalities. From Diego Maradona to Eric Cantona, there's something about being a soccer superstar--usually an attacker--in the spotlight that can lead to stories you would need to read to believe. The mentality that attackers want to attack the metaphorical publicity train off the pitch is all too prevalent with the game's newest renegade personality, Mario Balotelli of Manchester City. With his team on top of the Premier League and looking to advance in the Champions League, it's a celebration, bitches. So light some fireworks (literally) for the Crown Prince of Shenanigans.

He didnt failed the tryout at Barcelona. He was in but the manager asked for a lot of money for a kid. So Inter was keen to pay the $$$$$

Love Balotelli, hate whoever wrote this shitty article. Corniest captions I've ever seen and I'm usually a fan of the writing at complex.

Balotelli's a great player, he just has a lot of haters because he has a sense of humor and balls too hard

Balotelli got the most swag out of all football players but yo the football crowds in Europe aren't that racist except places like Italy and some east european countries...
