It's like I said A+C, nobody forces you or anyone else to join in. Your free choice and that's the end of that really.
.
But people are forced to listen to it. Where's the free choice in that? And it's not just inside the stadium either. I've heard it chanted miles away from the stadium on non-matchdays when people see another Tottenham fan they know.
This is the essence of the whole thing.
Very telling that one of the Jewish lads in the video I posted, said that his Gran was offended by it until she watched one of the videos about how it become used by the Spurs fans and then she completely changed her outlook saying ‘Ah I get it now!’.
It's great that she had a chance to get it, but how many people are offended because they don't know the context and they don't have anyone to explain it to them. I just think there must be a better way to show solidarity without chanting something that some people find offensive.
I’m surprised this hasn’t been picked up by the media, unless I have missed it.
It was on the BBC website: https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/60330719
