The St. Louis Blues have strongly condemned an antisemitic protest that took place during a match last week at the Enterprise Center.
Protest Details at Enterprise Center
During Thursday’s game against the Vegas Golden Knights, activists displayed anti-Israel banners that were subsequently removed by arena staff and law enforcement. The banners featured messages such as “Israel Kills” accompanied by a crossed-out Star of David surrounded by red markings designed to look like blood. These displays were spotted in at least two separate areas of the venue, including rinkside seats and a private box overlooking Sections 111 and 112.
Additional signs shown from the private box featured images of the Statue of Liberty alongside the words “Free America From Israel.”
Chairman Tom Stillman’s Statement
Tom Stillman, the chairman and governor of the Blues, addressed the incident through a statement shared on X on Monday.
“The St. Louis Blues organization — and I personally — condemn antisemitic rhetoric in all forms,” said Stillman. “The vile messages of hate briefly displayed at our game last Thursday were unfortunate and unforgivable, and not remotely representative of our fans or our hometown. Our arena staff and local law enforcement responded immediately to confiscate the prohibited banners and eject the offending individuals. Antisemicism has no place in our community, and we will never allow it in our building.”
The Blues are scheduled to remain at home for their next two fixtures, wrapping up a five-game homestand when they face the Boston Bruins on Thursday, Oct. 29.
