Hertha Berlin showed solidarity with NFL players in the United States by kneeling ahead of their home game with Schalke. The club’s starting lineup linked arms and took a knee on the pitch, while coaching staff, officials and substitutes took a knee off it.

NFL players have been demonstrating against discrimination in the US by kneeling, sitting or locking arms through the national anthem before games.

The movement, which was started last year by the former quarterback Colin Kaepernick, has been harshly criticised by President Donald Trump.

On Twitter, the Bundesliga club says: “Hertha BSC stands for tolerance and responsibility! For a tolerant Berlin and an open-minded world, now and forevermore!”

JUSTICE is a universal concept...
They don't have to be American to understand.

The take-a-kneel protest PRECEDED the Trump presidency...

Don't want to sink as low as the dude that reportedly recently called him an Effing Moron...
But it takes a special kind of obtuse to term a call for justice a disrespect for veterans and country.

The dude that called him an effing moron was simply stating facts.

No danger of this happening in the EPL - the players aren't thoughtful enough.
