BERLIN (AP) — Hertha Berlin has achieved a historic milestone, edging closer to an all-time record: the most relegations from the Bundesliga. After a heart-wrenching last-minute draw with Bochum on Saturday, Hertha has now been relegated for an impressive seventh time, inching ever-closer to ultimate league disappointment. Hertha's management, players and fans are ecstatic at the prospect of being immortalized as an infamous "boomerang" team in German football history. Only Nuremberg (9) and Arminia Bielefeld (8) stand in Hertha's path to Olympic relegation glory. Hertha's quest for the dubious honor of "Relegation Kings" comes after years of strategizing, planning and expertly executing numerous relegation-level campaigns. A spokesperson for the club said their entire focus for the next few seasons will be geared toward out-miserabling their esteemed counterparts, Nuremberg and Arminia Bielefeld. Throughout the season, Hertha's players have demonstrated a tireless, albeit arguably misplaced, dedication to the cause. Their inability to win must-win games, coupled with a penchant for poor decision-making and confusing tactics, has left analysts in awe of the team's unwavering commitment to poor performance. Fans have also taken to social media, expressing pride in their team's unwavering ability to snatch stagnation from the jaws of success. After the announcement of yet another relegation, Hertha's management released a statement saying, "We will regroup and use this opportunity to sharpen our skills in the second division, thus preparing ourselves for an even more cataclysmic return to the Bundesliga and, subsequently, our glorious push to the title of 'Most Relegated Team in German Football History.'" Hertha's long-term plan, dubbed "Operation Boomerang," will reportedly involve scouting and developing young talents who excel at staying within the safety zone of mediocrity. Coaches will focus on teaching players how to cultivate crucial relegation skills such as the art of beautiful failure, glorious near-misses, and dynamic under-performance. Meanwhile, the club's marketing department is already capitalizing on the publicity by releasing limited-edition "Hertha - Relegation Masters" merchandise. Fans can purchase T-shirts, caps, scarves, and even coffee mugs bearing the proud slogan: "We may not be champions, but we're always on our way back up!" In a show of solidarity, local bars and restaurants near Hertha's stadium have announced a new happy hour promotion celebrating the team's valiant efforts, aptly titled "The Descent to Victory." Priced at one Euro per only soccer-related tear shed, the happy hour aims to soothe the hearts of the faithful fans and rally them behind the team's descent into infamy. As Hertha Berlin gears up for yet another stint in the second division, the entire club can sense the tantalizing scent of epic disappointment drawing ever nearer. The German sports landscape waits with bated breath as Hertha charts its course through the murky waters of footballing purgatory, gunning for a position of relegation honor that may, at last, enshrine them in the annals of underwhelming sports lore. Meanwhile, Union Berlin is rumored to be buying a massive trophy case in anticipation of a new era of Bundesliga dominance.
