American Airlines Center opens investigation into Nazi salute by Stars fans

American Airlines Center officials have opened an internal investigation after a video emerged on social media Tuesday of Dallas Stars fans doing what appears to be the Nazi salute at a game in December.

The 18-second video, first posted on Reddit, shows a group of male Stars fans sitting in the upper deck making the gesture to the rhythm of “Puck off” by Pantera — the Stars’ goal song — at Dallas’ Dec. 21 game against the Toronto Maple Leafs at American Airlines Center.

The user who posted the video wrote, “These boys were sitting in front of us doing a Nazi salute every time the Stars scored. I’ve been to several games and never seen anything like this before. I recorded them and sent it to arena management, but they said they couldn’t find the boys despite me giving them their exact seat numbers.”

An American Airlines Center spokesperson addressed the video in a statement to The Dallas Morning News. A Stars spokesperson directed all questions related to the video to American Airlines Center.
