Yes a picture of a gun is very much the same as an ethnic slur, great point well done. I'm not offended by it, im not Jewish, but plenty of Jewish people have given legitimate reasons why its a word that shouldn't be chanted by a bunch of football fans who want to say it because they like it. For that reason i dont say it and find it really fucking weird that a load of people get incredibly offended and upset that they have been asked not to shout a specific word at a football match, because for some reason they value their chanting above having something close to compassion for their another human being and a word that means nothing to them other than yay my football team.
But fuck David Baddiel for some reason amirite!
Once again, I ask you how many Tottenham fans ever raise the yiddo issue? People need to realise that political correctness can be used as an excuse by some people to moan about fuck all. If it was seen as a word that was truly that bad, do you think our Jewish owner, our Jewish chairman, our previous chairman who was Jewish etc would have stood for it?
It's a word clearly used for endearing purposes at our club, it's not done with malice or aggression. If some people get offended by it that's up to them. I'm more offended by homelessness, actual racism etc not a word used endearingly that clearly doesn't offend many apart from the delicate flowers of the world. I ain't buying it sorry pal.
Quick question, if someone speaks Yiddish and says they speak Yiddish is that a slur? Why should yiddo be deemed a slur when certain people clearly don't use it to be a slur? It's subjective, the same as calling an American a Yankee, a Brit a Pom or a limey, people need to get over it there's genuine issues in the world and this ain't what I'd call one of them.
