Future News: Mario Balotelli to tutor children in Liverpool

Liverpool striker Mario Balotelli has announced plans to start his own tutoring service for school children in the city. The 24-year-old Italian international says that he will do the tutoring for "Tutoring by Mario" himself in order to ensure that his "real world" lesson plan is properly executed.

"Education is important," Balotelli told reporters while riding a jet ski in a standard sized bathtub. "Rich footballers like me need doctors to keep us healthy and bankers to watch our money, so Tutoring by Mario will prepare children who aren't good at football to do those jobs in the future."

Since joining Liverpool in late August, Balotelli has demonstrated an admirable interest in promoting education. He recently posted a video message on his personal Instagram account in which he wished kids around world good luck as the new school year begins, telling them to "study hard and play harder." And Tutoring by Mario, which Balotelli will provide as a free service to the Merseyside community, aims to help kids study both harder and smarter.

"There are many lessons I want to teach," Balotelli explained. "For example: if Mario scores three goals for Liverpool and Daniel scores two goals for Liverpool, how many goals do Liverpool have? The answer is six, because Steven scores a goal too. Children need to be prepared for unfair questions like this because the real world is unfair. No one teaches this, but I will."

Balotelli has long been the subject of outlandish tabloid fodder in both England and Italy. Stories of the former Manchester City player paying off his parking tickets with enchiladas, treating the homeless to games of laser tag, and destroying the invention of time travel with fireworks in order to preserve the space-time continuum and the human race exist somewhere between accepted truth and absurdist fiction. He hopes his latest endeavor will show people a different side of himself, though.

"If the tutoring goes well, maybe I will start a Mario University," Balotelli said. "I never went to one, so it would be good to get a degree from a university with my name on it."
