“AAC has zero tolerance for any acts of hate and/or discrimination, and we intention to make sure an atmosphere for our company that’s free from disruptive habits, together with foul/abusive language and obscene gestures,” the assertion stated. “As such, we strongly denounce the actions that seem like depicted within the video footage and are conducting an inner investigation.”
The video seems to indicate the followers making the salute on the beat of “Puck Off,” by Pantera — which has been used since 2000 because the Stars objective tune. It’s unclear if any followers out of body had been additionally making the salute, or if anybody engaged the followers to denounce their habits.
This has been one other banner season for the Stars who’ve eclipsed 100 factors for the fourth season in a row. They’re at the moment second within the Central Division, behind solely the Colorado Avalanche. It’s comprehensible that the crew desires to focus solely on hockey, but it surely’s inexcusable to disregard this incident and never even make a press release saying that it’s unacceptable for followers to make Nazi salutes within the stands, or be dedicated to studying the identification of the group and banning them from future video games.
If organizations let reprehensible actions like this happen with out penalties it’s tantamount to condoning them.
