American Weston McKennie was in Germany playing for Schalke in Bundesliga action on Saturday, but the 21-year-old midfielder used an armband to let fans know his thoughts were back in the United States.
McKennie wore an armband saying “Justice for George” during the match against Werder Bremen. George Floyd, a black man, was killed after a police officer in Minneapolis put his knee into his neck for over eight minutes, sparking outrage and protests across the country this week.
During the telecast, cameras zoomed in on McKennie at one point, at which point the armband was clearly visible.
