The NHL's Dallas Stars have reportedly indefinitely banned a fan from American Airlines Center after an internal investigation found that he was part of a group doing a Nazi salute during a game.
The action came after video surfaced of a group of fans doing the Nazi salute in the stands at American Airlines Center.
The Stars didn’t name the fan who was banned and said they were only able to identify the fan who purchased the tickets, but not the other individuals in the video.
“We identified and spoke with the individual that purchased the tickets and will be banning the individual indefinitely from American Airlines Center,” a team spokesperson said in a statement.
“Additionally, we are increasing in-arena messaging regarding the Fan Code of Conduct and how our fans can report violations, along with prioritizing staff training to identify and handle situations that arise.
“Any type of discriminatory or hateful behavior will not be tolerated and has no place in our arena. Creating and sustaining environments that are inclusive, safe and respectful is a non-negotiable for the Dallas Stars.”
