This evening, BBC Radio 5 had a discussion about anti-semitism in football. The bulk of the discussion was around the term Yid and our (Spurs fans) use of it.
The two jewish gents on the discussion hated the word and compared it to the N word for black people or the P work for Pakistani people.
Just interested to hear fellow Spurs fans (I've used 'Spurs fans' twice where I would ordinarily use 'Yid') think on the term?
My username will give away the fact that I regularly use the term and have always said I'm part of the Yid Army. The guys on Radio 5 wanted Spurs fans to stop using it.
If you do use it, would/will you stop?
If you don't use it, why? Have you never? Or did realising it was offensive stop you doing it?
