Arsenal Player Robin van Persie Accused of Performing Nazi Salute After Goal (Video)

Daily Mail - Arsenal hero Robin van Persie has
dismissed claims he made a Nazi salute to Chelsea fans during his side's
stunning 5-3 victory at Stamford Bridge.



The
Gunners captain grabbed a hat-trick on Saturday but his celebration
after scoring his second goal has prompted wild claims on the internet.



The Dutch international has been accused of making a Nazi salute, but Van Persie gave short shrift to the allegations.



'It has been brought to my attention
of some ridiculous allegations concerning my celebration of one of my
goals,' wrote Van Persie on his Twitter account.



'It
is totally ludicrous to suggest that my action of brushing my shoulder
could be construed as anything else but a showing of joy and
celebration.

'To suggest this meant anything to the contrary is insulting and absolutely absurd as nothing else came into my mind.'

Sorry, but I'm gonna have to disagree with you Robin.  Clearly this is a Nazi salute.  You might have been in the moment and didn't mean any harm by it, but you sure did it.  There is no arguing that.  I mean you had a hat trick, you must be taking of the world right?
