The Dallas Stars have indefinitely banned a fan following an investigation into what appeared to be a Nazi salute during a December game at American Airlines Center.
The NHL team took action against the fan who purchased the tickets connected to the incident. Video captured during the December game showed the apparent Nazi salute being made.
A Stars spokesperson confirmed the indefinite ban but did not provide additional details about the investigation. The incident involved a group of people, though it remains unclear if other individuals face similar consequences.
The ban comes several months after the December incident, suggesting the team conducted a thorough investigation before taking action. The Stars join other professional sports teams that have taken strong measures against fans displaying hate symbols or making offensive gestures at games.
Sports venues are taking stronger action against hate symbols and offensive behavior. This shows teams are willing to permanently remove fans who cross certain lines, even months after incidents occur.
The team has not indicated if other fans involved in the incident will face similar bans.
