West Bromwich Albion striker Nicolas Anelka has agreed to stop performing a controversial goal celebration that has anti-Semitic connotations and caused an outcry in his native France.
The former France international is the subject of an investigation by the English Football Association after celebrating the first of his two goals against West Ham in the Premier League on Saturday with a gesture that’s known in France as a “quenelle.” It is described by critics as an inverted Nazi salute and condemned by France’s sports minister as “shocking” and “disgusting.”
