Razak Brimah Fined $2,500 By GFA For Insulting Social Media Comments

The Ghana Football Association (GFA) have imposed a $2,500 fine on first choice goalkeeper Razak Brimah after he posted a video on social media insulting Ghanaians and using some very colourful language.

After a meeting held Tuesday morning, Brimah was found to have violated the Black Stars Code of Conduct and was thus fined the figure.

The money would be donated to a Ghanaian charity.

Brimah was apparently incensed with Ghanaians after he put in a heroic performance in Ghana’s quarter final game against the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), and therefore took to social media to vent his frustrations over the constant criticisms he has been receiving.

“They (Ghanaians) talk too much, they should “f**k” go to hell. I am not harsh but am “f**k” tired of this negative people, instead of supporting the team (Black Stars) to move forward and pray for the team, they sit out there and talk “shit,” he reportedly said in the video, which he took down almost immediately.

Brimah also submitted a written apology to the FA.

“We render an unqualified apology to the general public. We will continue to count on the unflinching support of Ghanaians to help us win the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations”, the GFA said in a statement addressing the issue.
