More reports of racist fan behavior targeting Balotelli
UEFA confirmed this afternoon they were “looking into” reports a photographer witnessed a steward retrieving a banana from the pitch during Italy’s clash with Croatia yesterday.
The FARE (Football Against Racism in Europe) network also announced their observers heard between 300 and 500 Croatia fans chanting monkey noises at Balotelli in the 1-1 Group C draw in Poznan.
If yesterday’s purported banana-throwing incident is shown to be intended as an insult towards Balotelli, the fallout would be potentially the biggest yet at a tournament that has been dogged by allegations of racist abuse.
