I'd love this to be true, and I'm sure that's what it means to you, but I fear for many, It's just an excuse to be able to shout racist words with impunity. Spurs fans have unfortunately had ample opportunity over the last few years to put their money where their mouth is (Labour Party and the fallout from the Israel Palestine conflict) and stand up for the Jewish fans they apparently have such affection for but on the whole, they didn't.As a fellow synagogue going, Shabbat-observing, skullcap wearing Orthodox Jew, I wholeheartedly agree with everything you've written.
When Spurs fans call themselves YIDS, it's a proud label of fellowship and support against the racism that Spurs fans suffered for years from other clubs.
YID ARMY!
As for Baddiel, most here seem to think its ok to play the man rather than the ball. Bell-End he may be, but that doesn't make the points he's been making any less relevant.
