Ghanaian midfielder says racism still exists in football

Kevin-Prince Boateng says the problem of racism within football "hasn't been solved at all" and has backed players' rights to leave the pitch if they suffer abuse.

The issue of racism in Italy has been brought into sharp focus recently, after Sulley Muntari was shown two yellow cards by referee Daniele Minelli for confronting Cagliari fans who had allegedly abused him and then walking off the pitch in protest.

Muntari will serve a one-match ban, while Cagliari have avoided punishment, with Serie A's disciplinary committee citing the supposed low number of dissenters as key to the decision.
