Avalanche of abuse makes Muntari quit

MILAN - Ghana's Sulley Muntari dramatically walked off the pitch while playing for Pescara at Cagliari on Sunday after his complaints of racist abuse were met with a yellow card.

The former AC Milan and Inter midfielder, who claimed the abuse also came from children, angrily confronted Cagliari fans, shouting at them: "This is my color!"

Muntari, 32, could now face disciplinary measures after deciding to leave the field seconds before fulltime - a decision that earned him a second yellow card, and then a red, from referee Daniele Minelli.
