The German soccer federation will assess whether four Bundesliga players' gestures during games to show support for George Floyd will be sanctioned.
Schalke's Weston McKennie, Borussia Mönchengladbach's Marcus Thuram and Borussia Dortmund's Jadon Sancho and Achraf Hakimi demonstrated solidarity with widespread protests over Floyd's killing during last weekend's games. McKennie sported an armband Saturday that read "Justice for George," while Sancho and Hakimi wore undershirts with the same message. On Sunday, Thuram took a knee after scoring in Borussia Mönchengladbach's win over Union Berlin.
Floyd died last Monday in Minneapolis police custody after an officer pressed his knee into Floyd's neck for several minutes, even as Floyd said he couldn't breathe.
