Hertha Berlin appeared to show 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.
Hertha BSC stands for tolerance and responsibility! For a tolerant Berlin and an open-minded world, now and forevermore! October 14, 2017
