Kevin Prince Boateng was surprisingly fined 2,000 Euros for displaying a white shirt bearing a dedication to the victims of an earthquake in Italy.

The former Milan player after scoring in the game won by his Las Palmas side against Granada sent a condolence message to the country where he lived for several years.

Despite his kindhearted message, the Black Stars outcast has been fined by the Spanish Football Federation under Article 91 of the Disciplinary Code.

There is a precedent, in 2014, it happened as a player of Real Jaén, the team currently in the Spanish second division was fined for showing a message in support of children with cancer after scoring a goal.

In that case, after several appeals, the Committee of the Spanish FA decided to cancel the sanction and probably the Boateng incident will be overturned with an appeal by the player or his club to prevent the injustice.

The Ghanaian international joined Las Palmas on a one-year deal after leaving Italian giants AC Milan.
