Agyemang Badu thinks calls for black players to strike in Italy in support of Muntari’s racial fight are not misplaced

Ghana midfielder Emmanuel Agyemang Badu says calls that black players should boycott this weekend’s matches in the Italian Serie A in support of Sulley Muntari’s action against racism are not misplaced.

Notable players like former Tottenham player Garth Crooks has supported Muntari's action.

Crooks suggested that black players should boycott the Serie A this weekend if Muntari's one game ban is not rescinded.

And Agyemang Badu has thrown his weight behind Crooks call.

“He is very right,” Badu said.

“How can such thing happen and you give a match ban to the player again?

The Black Stars midfielder then suggested that the ban must be withdrawn since the leadership of Cagliari has apologized and Pescara have issued a statement on the issue.

“Once the Cagliari president has apologised and Pescara have issued a statement, they must withdraw his ban,” he argued.
