During a friendly between Italian clubs AC Milan and Pro Patria, AC Milan midfielder Kevin-Prince Boateng left the field in protest after being the victim of what his club described as racist abuse by a minority of Pro Patria fans. Both teams joined him in solidarity, and play did not resume. As he left, Boateng applauded the other sections of the crowd. Piara Powar, executive director of European anti-discrimination group FARE, demanded strong action from the Italian FA, saying, ”We salute Kevin-Prince Boateng for his actions and his team-mates for their support. This is the not the first time a player has walked off in Italy - if the situation continues it may not be the last. Italy, as much as any country in Europe, has a serious problem of racism to deal with. Football infrastructure is in need of renewal and at serious odds with the changing nature of Italian society. We look forward to strong action by the FIGC (Italian FA).” Boateng said on Twitter after the game: “Shame that these things still happen… #StopRacismforever.” [x, x]
