paisleyroad 894 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 3 Spurs fans charged with ‘racially aggravated’ offences by using the 'yid' word.supporters were told in early October that they risked warnings or arrest for using the word ‘Yid’, even if it was in the context of supporting their own teamDoes this mean our neighbours across the city could face the same charges?Read more: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2543402/Saddened-not-surprised-Spurs-fans-trust-disappointed-three-charged-using-Y-word.html#ixzz2r4J4vZ19 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

paisleyroad 894 Posted January 21, 2014 Author Share Posted January 21, 2014 Also, thats stupid as fuck.agreed mate but i do think this . . . either ban everyone from saying certain offensive words or ban nobody for using the same offensive words,.to say who can and can't use offensive words is crazy IMO.

It was spot on in my opinion. Political incorrectness is bullshit. Anyone getting offended by the usage of Yid here need to have a fucking look at themselves. I guess I could understand if it was being used in a derogatory sense, but this is plainly not the case here. Even if it was, why do they give a fuck? It's only fucking words.From the article:"Radicals of the 1980s have helped this process by giving up on campaigns for social equality and shifting their attention to the need to police incorrect words" Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thewhitesettler 2,714 Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 I remember, just before the FA cup final of 1981, between Man City, & Spurs, the City fans had a song, based on the Spurs FA Cup song "Ossie's On His Way To Wembley" which went like this............."Spurs are on their way to Belsen, Hitler's gonna gas 'em again, we can't stop 'em, the yids from Tottenham, the yids from White Hart Lane" which was deemed funny, at the time, however, you'd get jailed for singing it these days. I think that this is a lot worse than "The Billy Boys" or "The Famine Song" PC gone mad???? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WadeWilson 4,670 Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 The word 'Yid' means 'Jew' in Yiddish.Wow. That's really fucking offensive.It actually originates from a Nordic language (Middle High German, to be precise) and is an interpretation of the word 'Jude.' No-one at all seems to be offended is it is prounced 'Yeed.' So... altogether now Spurs fans: "YID ARMY! YID ARMY!" (pronounced: Yeed Armeeeeeh)And can I just add that David Baddiel does my fucking loaf in these days. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Fenian is an anglicisation of the Irish gaelic Fianna, a word for bands of warriors in ancient Ireland and Scotland, which was appropriated by Irish Republican groups in the 19th century. Really not that offensive a word. And even if it was, at the end of the day it's just that. A word.People are too sensitive these days. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
