Define ‘irony’, Reds…
This is pretty shocking from the Guardian…
On the same day news broke that Mario Balotelli has been racially abused over 4,000 times on social media since August 2014, the newspaper giant tried to report the news, but managed to use a picture of the Italian instead of Daniel Sturridge, his black Liverpool teammate…
Of course, barring the colour of their skin, the pair look nothing alike whatsoever to a football fan, newspaper editor or a person.
When photos of the gaffe emerged, the internet went into a frenzy, and there’s probably one very nervous sub-editor sat in an office somewhere right now.
Not that it’s anywhere near as bigger crime, but the report also managed to misspell Balotelli’s name, going instead for ‘Ballotelli’.
