Tottenham Hotspur

Tottenham Hotspur fans have long called themselves ‘Yids.’ This week, the British soccer team asked them to stop.

Tottenham Hotspur cited a survey which showed both recognition of the term’s loaded meaning and an attachment to it in the context of the game.

Separately, police have questioned three fans of the Chelsea soccer team over the chanting about Jews aboard a London-area train after a match.

The initiative to replace stadium bans with educational trips is the brainchild of the British team’s Jewish owner.
