AC Milan of Italy striker Mario Balotelli regrets choosing to represent the Azurri of Italy over the Black Star of Ghana according to his biological father, Thomas Barwuah. Thomas Barwuah is the man who gave Balotelli up for adoption while he was a child, before he was adopted by his now Italian parents, who the Italian striker refers to as his 'real parents'.
The Ghanaian FA tried to convince him to represent the West African country back in 2011, but he opted to represent Italy instead, a decision the father says he striker regrets due to the constant racist abuse he endures in Italy.
Himself [Balotelli] has started realising he made a big mistake playing for the Italian national team and he has told friends about it,” Barwuah told GazzettaGhana. “He is not being treated well, true they don’t show him the love he deserves for his great talent and skill. I think that all he gets is abuse, especially from the media here and that is because he is black”.
“They don’t like him and it started from the beginning, they didn’t want to see a black boy like himself taking glory of the Italian national team.”
His biological dad was a Ghanaian immigrant who lived in Italy with wife Rose. They had Mario in Sicily, only to give him up for adoption at the age of three in 1993 to the Balotellis, a family of Italian Jews, for unexplained health reasons.

Was your switching allegiance the problem? No it is your attitude; so guys don't blame the whites for his misfortune but himself. When he was well behaved was he not having all the glory? Now that the glory is gone because of his misdeeds, instead of making amends he is hinging his problems on racial equality. As usual a black man will always be a Blackman.

You should not be talking, if you did not give him up for adoption he would have been playing for Ghana and loyal to you as a parent, consider what would have been of him if the Balotelli's did not adopt him, maybe you would not be talking about him now. Oloshi ee don good for the boy una come dey realize say na una pikin, try and give up more of yopur kids for adoption and wait to share in the glory when someone else has taken up the responsibility of training.
