Hertha Berlin Kneels "For Tolerance And Responsibility"
In an apparent show of solidarity with athlete protests in the United States, Hertha Berlin payers kneeled "for tolerance and responsibility" before today's match against Schalke.
Hertha Berlin showed solidarity with sportspersons in the United States by 'taking a knee' ahead of their Bundesliga match with Schalke on Saturday.
The starting XI knelt on the pitch and linked arms prior to kick-off, in similar fashion to some NFL players in America in recent weeks.
The club then posted a picture on their official Twitter account with the caption: "Hertha BSC stands for tolerance and responsibility! For a tolerant Berlin and an open-minded world, now and forevermore!"
It was an apparent show of support for NFL teams who have become involved in the 'Take A Knee' protest movement over recent weeks.
The decision to kneel down during the national anthem has been adopted by many players in protest against police brutality and racial inequality in the United States.
