Sulley Muntari's wife says the Pescara midfielder's protest against racism that brought disgrace to Italian football has resulted in her husband being benched by the Serie A club.
Menaye Donkor says she is in no doubt over the reason for the Italian top-flight club leaving her husband on the bench since he decided to stand up against racists who chanted against him in the match at Cagliari.
Italy’s governing soccer body was forced by global condemnation to lift the one-match ban it imposed on Muntari after the Ghanaian walked off the pitch amid racist abuse from fans against Cagliari.
Since then Muntari has not started for his club as he was a regular starter for the club before the incident that happened in Cagliari.

Even the club is going on relegation. They managed to win without Sulley on the pitch. So even though they may have benched Sulley sake of the racism, it could have been blessing in disguise for them. So they can defend themselves when even called upon to explain.
Madam you are not helping your husband. This sort of attention could be counter productive. Good on him for standing up to racism but he should put that behind him and focus on his football. Continue with utterances like this and the club may not only refuse to renew his contract, other clubs will think twice about signing him because of the sort of attention he brings. You are a good footballer, let your football do the talking and tell your wife to ***barred word***. This is not a fashion show for Gods sake.
God bless Sulley Muntari for standing up to the immaturity of those racist. Go high Sulley, your wife is a blessing, we love you both.
