German Soccer Kneelers

It was reported this afternoon in Germany that the Hertha Berlin soccer club did a kneeling in it's Bundesliga same, with the coaching staff, and general manager also in on the kneeling.  The comment from the club?  "Hertha BSC stands for tolerance and responsibility! For a tolerant Berlin and an open-minded world, now and forevermore!"

The opposing club?  Schalke.  No one from their squad kneeled.

Where this will go?  Hard to say.  Maybe ten-percent of the viewers in the stands might agree with some kneeling....most have no opinion....with maybe ten-percent having an issue with this.

The problem I see is that in the US....this is an agenda item that says more to the idea of the nation being racist.  So would the same racism thing exist in Germany?  If so, would the fans support this?  Unknown.
