LONDON (AP) — A new campaign against anti-Semitism in English soccer targets the “Yiddo” chants by Tottenham fans — many of them Jewish.
The Kick It Out organization says the chant often results in variations of the term “Yid” being hurled back at Tottenham fans by rival supporters.
Tottenham, which has traditionally drawn a large fan base from the Jewish communities of north London, is careful not to condemn its own followers, who call themselves the “Yid Army.”
The “Y Word” video was released Thursday.
