Kevin-Prince Boateng had heard enough.

Ghana-born AC Milan soccer player Kevin-Prince Boateng decided that he heard enough.

The midfielder walked off the field during a game against Pro Patria after he heard several racist taunts hurled his way from the crowd.

He was followed by his teammates into the locker room. 

"Shame that these things still happen... #StopRacismforever," he tweeted after the game.

This comes months after racism marred the EURO 2012 soccer tournament.
