Premier League: Tottenham Hotspur asks fans to renounce the term "Yid Army"

The English Premier League Club Tottenham Hotspur has asked its supporters to avoid the use of the term "Yid Army" in the future as an anti-Semitic punishment, with which parts of the fan base itself call itself.

The football club from London had commissioned a study, which, among other things, revealed that many Spurs fans feel uncomfortable when the controversial word is to be heard in games.

In the context of the study, however, it has been shown that even Spurs supporters who wanted to continue to use the term are ready to stop, if other SPURS fans felt injured.

"Anti-Semitism remains a serious problem in football," it said on the Spurs website, "and it has to be done more to fight him. We believe that anti-Semitic insults should be given the same zero tolerance as other forms discriminatory behavior. It Should not be left to a minority in football, to address and drive this. "
