Israeli fans can get...intense, for lack of a better word during Davis and Fed Cup matches.

Exhibit A: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lw9HmQRyTVo

But, in the Israel-Poland matches, apparently some anti-Catholic slurs were thrown around by the crowd.

in soccer when that happens teams get punished by federation, so if it really happened, FedCup should do the same

Can a player be penalized for flipping the bird to a crowd? Cuz...that's what I'd have done.

I'm not sure in this case, but I saw a clip of a fed cup match between an Israeli and Anna chakvetadze (sp?) which got ugly with the lack of sportsmanship on both sides. When I get to my computer I'll find the link and post it.

Nevermind, I see the video's already been posted. I'm biased, but I support the Israeli crowd on this one.

i watched that video, it seems like it started with Chakvatadze fist pumps not even Nadal can match, which looked kind of immature

I assume that it escalated to get to the start of the video. But yeah. It was pretty dramatic.

Welcome to women's tennis. I would like to say I'm joking, but from what I've seen at all levels of play, women's tennis is more emotionally charged than mens, with few exceptions.

Wonder what the Israeli crowd did to piss off the normally very cool and fair Chakvetadze??? HMMMM??

Bartelby · 02-13-2013, 04:28 PM

There were anti-Catholic slurs from the crowd, according to reports quoted on another thread, so their reaction to religious hatred was quite understandable.
