Italian striker Mario Balotelli has caught some heat recently – not only for his disappointing showing at the World Cup, but also for his struggles with AC Milan – and his latest Instagram upload probably isn’t going to help at all.

The 23-year old Balotelli posted – and quickly deleted – a photo of himself pointing a shotgun at the camera, accompanied by a caption reading “Big kiss to all the haters.”

Sheesh. Not exactly the smartest or most mature way to deal with criticism, in my humble opinion.
