Kevin-Prince Boateng Baffled By Persistent Racism In Football

Ghana striker Kevin-Prince Boateng is struggling to understand why racism persists in multicultural societies. The Germany-born suffered racial abuse last year when he was playing for AC Milan during a friendly against fourth division Pro Patria. He stopped mid-play in the 26th minute, picked up the ball and kicked it into the crowd. Boateng then tore off his shirt and walked off the field at the opposite end. �We are a multicultural society with people from all over the world and live in close contact in Germany as in Italy,� Boateng told Sky Sports. �Still do not understand why there are these episodes of racist statements. How is it possible that this happen again. This is a question that I do not take off from the head".
