ST. LOUIS — St. Louis Blues Chairman Tom Stillman condemned banners displayed during an Oct. 22 game at Enterprise Center as antisemitic, confirming that arena staff and local law enforcement confiscated the signs and removed those responsible.
The Blues distributed Stillman’s statement to media Monday, Oct. 26, following an investigation into the protest. The demonstration took place during the team’s game against the Vegas Golden Knights.
“The St. Louis Blues organization — and I personally — condemn antisemitic rhetoric in all forms,” Stillman said.
Stillman, the team’s chairman and governor, described the messages as “unfortunate and unforgivable” and said they did not represent Blues fans or the St. Louis community. He said arena staff and law enforcement responded immediately.
The St. Louis Jewish Light reported that demonstrators displayed banners near the ice and from a private box inside the arena. One featured a crossed-out Star of David surrounded by red markings resembling blood. Another read “Free America From Israel,” according to the publication.
ADL Heartland also condemned the display. Regional Director Jordan Kadosh told the Jewish Light that the messages fueled antisemitic conspiracy theories and alienated Jewish fans.
Enterprise Center’s published policies require signs and banners to relate to the event and prohibit offensive language or images, as determined by arena management. Signs also cannot obstruct other spectators’ views or be hung from any part of the building.
The team’s statement did not identify the people removed, provide a total number of ejections or say whether anyone was arrested or charged. It also did not detail the findings of the investigation.
“Antisemitism has no place in our community, and we will never allow it in our building,” Stillman said.
