Storming off the pitch won't stop racism

It is responsibility of Fifa, Uefa and the clubs to show 'zero tolerance' on abuse from stands, not match officials, or players

Is having a strop, stamping one's foot and storming off the pitch the solution to stopping racism? It is if you're Kevin-Prince Boateng, who was racially abused in a recent friendly match between his Serie A side AC Milan and fourth division team Pro Patria.

The German-born Ghanaian player controversially abandoned the match by angrily kicking the ball into the crowd and walking off the pitch with some of his teammates.
