חגיגה לגיטימית או פרובוקציה? חלוץ בית״ר ירושלים איתי שכטר הבקיע שער נגד סכנין, חבש כיפה והתפלל באמצע המגרש@Oren_Aharoni pic.twitter.com/jpZV7iICAn — ידיעות אחרונות (@YediotAhronot) January 25, 2017
Yediot shows the image of a soccer player who scored a goal, put a kipa on his head and said a prayer (shma yisrael, as reported elsewhere) in celebration.
Yediot asks in its tweet if this should be considered a provocation or is it legitimate?
Provocation? provocation to what? why and how would putting a kipa on be considered a provocation? I am thinking of Tim Tebow off the top of my head, but many athletes perform religious ceremonies of sort, usually more subtle than Tebow's flamboyant ceremonies. It seems to be a very common part of sports celebrations, but when Jewish it is provocative? And, again, what is it provoking?
