That's not the point here. Did Muntari suffer physical violence? If he inflicts physical violence, he is simply exacerbating an already tense situation. Do you know anything about deescalating a potentially explosive situation?Scipio Africanus wrote:Yeah, we should have confronted the Nazis and Boko Haram with peace and flowers.DIMKA76 wrote:Violence is never the way dude.Scipio Africanus wrote: for Muntari.

Now we know why she got the job. Another French African doing the bidding of her masters.joplass wrote:I like the approach taken by French journalists today about this issue.

French journalists are encouraging white team mates to start walking off as well to support their non-white team mates being abused. As of the ref in that game he was properly cleaned up as he should have stopped the game.
http://www.football-italia.net/101991/m ... cism-probeSulley Ali Muntari has been suspended by the Disciplinary Commission for walking off during Cagliari-Pescara due to racist insults, but Inter and Lazio have suspended bans.
The incident caused huge controversy in Serie A and beyond, as the midfielder was booked by the referee for dissent.
The Ghana international then became angry and walked off the field, as the official refused to stop the game.
Not only has the Muntari yellow card not been rescinded, and therefore he is given a one-match ban, but also Cagliari have avoided any punishment for the racist chants.
This is because the officials at the ground wrote in their report that the racist chants were coming from only around 10 people, thus less than one per cent of the circa 2,000 in the stadium.
They also noted it was only audible because the rest of the supporters were staging a ‘silent protest’ and therefore the decision was made not to penalise Cagliari, not even with a warning or a fine.
However, racist chants were clearly heard from Inter fans aimed towards Napoli defender Kalidou Koulibaly “from 80 per cent of the 7,000 people” in the ‘secondo anello verde’ section of the stands.
That section of San Siro is therefore closed, albeit only as a suspended sentence for a period of a year.
The same punishment was aimed at Lazio and the Curva Nord, where again 80 per cent of the 7,000 people in that area were judged to be taking part in the racist chant towards Roma defender Antonio Rudiger.
Lazio’s Curva Nord was given a suspended sentence for one year, pending closure of that section.
Inter were also fined €10,000 for chants of ‘territorial discrimination’ against Napoli supporters and Genoa fined €15,000 for throwing fireworks.

FIFA TO ACT ON ITALIAN FA REGARDING MUNTARI

Reports in Europe indicate that the Italian Football Association could be fined for their treatment of Ghana and Pescara midfielder Sulley Muntari.
The 32-year-old former Black Stars midfielder was sent off after leaving the field, claiming he was racially abused during a Serie A game a few weeks ago.
It was also reported that he was initially banned for one game, but this was overturned by the Italian Football Federation (FIGC).
"We have a committee in charge of monitoring this and the committee will take action," FIFA secretary general Fatma Samoura told BBC Sport.
"What matters is that the committee has to act and the sooner the better.
"I have my personal feelings on anybody that is treated like he has been treated, on the pitch and off the pitch but I'm not here for my personal matters.
“I'm here to make sure that FIFA takes, through the committee, the appropriate action for any single discriminatory action."
On the other hand, FIFA president Gianni Infantino said on Tuesday that he would speak to the ex-Portsmouth player, who insists that UEFA is not taking racism seriously.
"We will work together. Unfortunately idiots, there are always idiots everywhere but we have to fight them. We have to work on the people," said Infantino.
Although the global football authority was criticised for disbanding its anti-racism task force last September, the organisation defended this decision at the time.
FIFA said it had fulfilled the "mandate" for which it was set up in 2013 - which was to provide recommendations for a "strong programme" to tackle racism.
