Cristiano Ronaldo is a nearly perfect human. He's chiseled, rich, famous and very good at reminding us that he is all of those things. He is still human, however, and just like all humans he occasionally loses his temper and becomes a pottymouth.

Following a blatant attack of racial abuse on Mario Balotelli during Nice’s match against Bastia last Friday, the Italian striker took to Instagram and said, “Is it normal that Bastia supporters make monkey noise [and] ‘uh uh’ for the whole game…?” Balotelli then criticized the French League’s disciplinary committee for failing to address the situation, summarizing the entire incident as “a real shame.”

Those who are fans of these clubs will only be able to use the virtual face filters at each team’s respective stadium for the rest of the season.
