\n\u201cAAC has zero tolerance for any acts of hate and\/or discrimination, and we aim to ensure an environment for our guests that is free from disruptive behavior, including foul\/abusive language and obscene gestures,\u201d the statement said. \u201cAs such, we strongly denounce the actions that appear to be depicted in the video footage and are conducting an internal investigation.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n
\nThe video appears to show the fans making the salute on the beat of \u201cPuck Off,\u201d by Pantera \u2014 which has been used since 2000 as the Stars goal song. It\u2019s unclear if any fans out of frame were also making the salute, or if anyone engaged the fans to denounce their behavior.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\nThis has been another banner season for the Stars who have eclipsed 100 points for the fourth season in a row. They are currently second in the Central Division, behind only the Colorado Avalanche. It\u2019s understandable that the team wants to focus solely on hockey, but it\u2019s inexcusable to ignore this incident and not even make a statement saying that it\u2019s unacceptable for fans to make Nazi salutes in the stands, or be committed to learning the identity of the group and banning them from future games.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
