The #TakeAKnee protest started over a year ago with the former quarterback of the San Francisco 49ers, Colin Kaepernick, and spread throughout the NFL and other sports after Donald Trump attacked the league for what he deemed to be unpatriotic behavior. Some individuals have taken to linking arms as a sign of solidarity as well.
Although Hertha BSC did not specifically mention racism, police brutality, or the U.S. player protests, the gesture -- coupled with the team's words on Twitter -- is a clear showing of solidarity and support for the message of unity that lives at the heart of the U.S. protests.
Along with the players on the field, Hertha BSC's other players, coaches, and staff all took a knee on the sidelines.
