As this ad tells us, he’s not Ronaldinho, Chris Waddle, Ronaldo, or Carlos Alberto Valderrama.

Nope, he’s Mario Balotelli.

To me, Balotelli’s life is a wonderful, inspirational story of courage and the ability to stand strong in the face of adversity. And, he’s just 21 years old.

Not only is he saving Italy from itself (the ignorance and stupidity of racism), he’s also saving the beautiful game.  Go Super Mario!
