Spurs survey - Racism

The main website has launched a survey based on one of our unofficial nicknames, The Yid Army. The club want to know if us, the fans, are offended by the term yid and ask you to select from two basic scenarios. Scenario one states that it is now quite a tradition at WHL and away grounds that we refer to ourselves as "Yids" and is not at all offensive. The second option waffles on about a dad taking his young son to Spurs who promptly goes back to school and calls a kid a Yid which then causes trouble.

It's my belief that the term "Yid", when relating to Spurs is completely inoffensive. I may be wrong and if people disagree with me and feel it is offensive then I apolgise. However at Spurs the term is used to describe your fellow supporters and the players in a good way, all fighting for the same cause. It is never used as a offensive term against another fan or player. It is just a form of endearment, if you like, for the fellow supporters to say "your one of us".

Anyhow I'm sure there are probably some people who agree and some who don't so have your say on the matter at the official site - follow the link:

I'm not quite sure why the club are carrying out the survey mind. I don't believe the club has a racism problem and this survey has probably been brought in because of the anti racism week that's running at all major football games this week and last. And what of the results? If they did decide to ban something that, in my opinion and because of the way it is used, is not racist how will they stop 36,000 singing it every week? Ban us all?

Come on you Spurs!
