We black sub-saharan Africans and Ghanaians in particular live in a society/culture where we think the young/youth shouldn't challenge any conspicuosly nonsense from people in positions of authority, elders be they brothers, sisters, parents etc. There is a reason the guy went ballistic and did what he did; and I'm not saying what he did was right. I nearly slapped my father back home in Ghana for what he did to his son (me). If I tell you what a father did to a son (me), none of you readers would believe that, but the father did that to his.

No need for violence no matter how someone intimidates you, violence should never be the response especially if you are a popular sportsman, you are in a position where children are looking up to you as their role model. I think Muntari let himself down and when he had the opportunity to apologise he never took it and it is now too late.

I think the word stubborn qualifies Sulley. He only fought his right and that of his colleagues. The Brazil fiasco was caused by the management of the Blackstars. So if no one was punished why should Sulley be punished. I don't side with him for punching somebody but if he had shown so remorse I trust we should be happy and accept it in good faith.

Some of these sports writers and journalists really need to go to school to learn diction, editing and grammar before putting stories out into the public domain. A lot of unacceptable mistakes for a a professional.

If he is included in the the team there is no lesson learnt for the players. His apology took a long time but accepted. He must forget the team.

He doesn't own any citizen an apology so i see no reason why you guys are just ranting about alk this stuff. If u were in his shoes may be u would have done worse so stop behaving as if u people dont make mistakes aftterall nobody is perfec. Oh....and YES HE SHOULD BE CALLED BACK INTO THE BLACK STARS bcus he has got experience and the younger players need an experienced leader to calm them down and at the same time motivate them. Take it or leave it

Eunice, thank you very much for your discernment insight thought. Some of our fellow Ghanaians are like chickens after eating, go a drag their mouth on the ground. What this guy has done for us by saving the entire country from STRESSFUL situations or moments. The last time Afcon was played in Ghana, this guy saved us last minute from the hands of Guinea team, Ghana vs Nigeria - 10 against 11 and what happened. During W/C's, Ghana vs Czechoslovakia his goal sealed, cement and brought relieved to entire African. What about Ghana vs Uruguay, his goal brought us where we haven't gone before. What else do we want from him, to hung him because of slapping one of those self-interest and untouchable GFA gurus?

Let those who has not err before cast the first stone on Mungu Man. Muntari deserved respect and tranquility in his life. He has rendered an apology letter, what else do we want more, tabanuch

Thank you very much Eunice and well said.

No daffing this time.

For me.provoke not a child. Ghanaians are hypocrites. Sulley should be added to the team. With this current team that has lost it passion,u need a person like sulley . We need more strikers who are serious. And there must be compitiion in black star. World cup is coming. Just call sulley and essien and see the kind of passion that will eventually possess black stars. Experience is the best teacher. Look at Italy and learn from them. Brazil is paying dearly today as a result of sacking all experienced footballers.

"The Black Stars need not to be a team that is driven by insults, indiscipline, blood – thirsty fist cuffs, and unity destroying individuals." The truth is that our leaders/mnagers must be sincere and feel rivileged to serve their country / people. They are too incompetent, insensitive, selfish and corrupt. We need people like Muntari, to stand up for the many fearful in our society. Unfortunately, his approach was wrong, but nonetheless exposed the rot.

Do not look at one side of the story. Did Muntari just walk up to Moses and hit him? Why not any other member of the C'tte? Why was Muntari not made to appear at the Commission? Something happened and now the young man has apologised. Let's end it here. If the coach needs him, he shd be invited. It is sad the way we as a nation do away with our experienced and older sportsmen and women. Let us beginning to grow.

Wow, cyto English on display. Some contributors have forgotten that Muntari's altercation with Armah was not the first time he had acted badly. He has been apologising for his indiscipline over the years. The GFA got fed up with him; especially as his influence as a key squad member had diminished. Anyone remember "no Muntari no Black Stars"?

Muntari was not angry because players' bonus was delayed; Muntari was questioning the rationale behind spending money to send all those people with the Stars and paying them bonuses.
