What an absolute joke this video is. I believe this campaign was started by David Baddiel? A Chelsea fan who's admitted he's had to leave games before due to his own fans. It is those Chelsea fans who time and again have been heard using racist chanting. After years of having that word used against our fans Spurs coined the word Yid and used it as their own to take the stigma away therefore taking any offensiveness in that word away. Anyone finding it offensive that we PROUDLY call ourselves Yi

wrong, the first step is for chelsea fans to stop making foreskin chants, spurs fans only adopted it when it was used as an insult

@charlie98thfc shut up u little cunt your just a little 15 year old boy!

It's part of who spurs are, we use it to battle racist behaviour.  We're tottenham hotspur and we'll sing what we want.

Just like the N word, we have taken the word used against us and made it ours.

No Ledley but its OK for you to use the P word isn't lad eh?

[SSSLongboarding]

Tottenham fans aren't gonna stop cos you made this video..

[MegaCOYS]

only until recent years have people been moaning about the word yids, people who get offended are to sensitive and have to learn that spurs fans refer to themselves as yids, which now adays completely takes any meaning of jew out of the word, opposition supporters are in such a small minority, as if this video will change the extremist pricks, let it be...

[speegz11]

yeah but, opposition fans use it against you as an INSULT - hence insulting actual yiddish/jewish people

Yid isn't offensive, I'm a tottenham fan and Christian, not Jewish, we call ourselves yids! It's a name of honour mate.
