As Charlie Day might say, I don't want to go all political over everyone's buttresses, but I saw an article on espn.com today that caught my attention. It's about a WTA tournament that barred Israeli player Shahar Peer from entering, citing "security risks." It's a good example of modern anti-semitism in practice. Kudos to the Tennis Channel from blacking the event out in the US (even though that might only effect 20 people or so). Hopefully, the ATP takes this tournament off the circuit. Again, I'm going to leave politics out of the blog, but given that the story was about both Israel AND tennis, I found it very relevant, so here's the link:
