Chelsea fan who aimed Nazi salute at Tottenham supporters punished with three-year football ban

I think as Spurs supporters we listen/hear people calling for us to stop chanting ‘Yids’ much more than when they speak out about the antisemitism

We are so ‘proud’ and wear the terms we chant as such a badge of honour that sometimes we forget the other side of the coin

It’s a very very complicated issue but at its root I guess it’s like using the N word. “We can use it but you can’t”

It's certainly a complicated issue. There's a difference between telling a racist, anti-semitic, homophobic or sexist joke and being a racist, anti-semite, homophobe or sexist.

The chants and humour of English crowds can be great but drawing the lines is very difficult as we all have such varying views of what is and isn't acceptable.

We can only have discuss complicated subjects if we do so openly, honestly and without misframing. This is why that even though I'm not a Baddiel fan, I think it's very wrong of us to constantly pedal the lie that he only focuses on Spurs fan behaviour and not Chelsea.

Of course not. Who said it would?

The point was he acknowledged appalling behaviour by Chelsea fans got to such an extent that as a season ticket holder he changed the area he sits in.

Yet somehow many posters think he doesn't talk about racist or anti-semitic behaviour by Chelsea fans when he clearly does.

If he was or is that appalled by Chelscum fans' behaviour, he ought to turn in his season ticket and quit going there.

So he should just stop supporting the club he has all of his life because of the behaviour of some of the fans.

I think your argument is genuinely ridiculous. I'm not even sure what your point is.

Leading, not leaving
