Football (soccer) star Mario Balotelli caused a bit of an uproar earlier today, July 11th, when he decided to post a picture of himself holding a shotgun on Instagram.  He captioned the picture, "big kiss to all the haters," along with multiple emoji faces and even an emoji image of a pistol. AC Milan Vice President Adriano Galliani commented on Mario's decision to post the controversial photo and how he has no control over what his players can and cannot do in their private lives.

"I have my own ideas about social networks and I've tried many times but our lawyer has always stopped me, saying that it would violate individual rights.  In contracts it's written what players can and cannot do, but we can't do anything regarding their private lives. We do it vocally but that's not enough."

After receiving loads of criticism from fans, Mario decided to delete the picture from his profile.  Check out Mario Balotelli holding the burner on IG in the above slide.
