Mario Balotelli is the brunt of a lot of jokes, his sometimes strange behavior gets a lot of bad press. But the player who currently plays in the UK Premier League for Liverpool can’t be faulted for his good deeds when it comes to his salary.

Footballers earn a hell of a lot of cash at Mario’s level and Mario has taken the step of donating half of his salary to African Children. Speaking of himself and his deeds Mario said:

“I am a naturalised italian, but I`m from Ghana. I was abandoned by my parents and adopted by two angels. I suffer with racism every day. I am the first black to wear the jersey of Italy. I`m not angry, but my life experiences make me act differently from other people. Then, try to learn more before you criticise me!”.

I guess the point of all this is that Mario has chosen to be generous and despite his strange ways we should be more careful to judge him or anyone until we know the full story.

What do you think?
