Did Robin Van Persie Give a Nazi Salute After Scoring Goal Against Chelsea? (Video)

Robin Van Persie denied accusations that he used a Nazi salute to celebrate a goal Saturday. The red-hot Arsenal striker claims he was merely brushing dirt off his shoulder like Jay-Z told him to and denied the allegations via Twitter.

@Persie_Official: It has been brought to my attention of some ridiculous allegations concerning my celebration of one of my goals yesterday.1/4

@Persie_Official: It is totally ludicrous to suggest that 2/4

@Persie_Official: my action of brushing my shoulder and pointing to my fans could be construed as anything else but of a showing of joy and celebration.3/4

@Persie_Official: To suggest this meant anything to the contrary is insulting and absolutely absurd as nothing else came into my mind. 4/4

The incident happened after Van Persie's 85th-minute goal stood as the game-winner for Arsenal. It was the second of three the flying Dutchman would score on the day. 

Van Persie is a Dutch soccer player who was born to a mother of Moroccan descent. That doesn't prohibit him from membership in the Nazi party, but makes it highly unlikely.
