Schalke: German club to fund anti-discrimination workshops with fine for racist abuse

The Bundesliga side's fans subjected Hertha Berlin's Jordan Torunarigha to monkey chants during a German Cup game. Schalke will use up to 16,000 (£13,487) euros of their fine for workshops, rather than pay that money to the DFB. The DFB said German defender Torunarigha was racially abused in the 85th minute by a group of Hertha supporters. Hertha defender Torunarigha was then sent off in extra-time for a second bookable offence, and subsequently threw down a water crate on the sideline.
