    The Tottenham Hotspur soccer club is querying its fans to find out how comfortable they are using the word �Yids� in chants and cheers.

    Supporters are being asked to complete an online survey by August 18, according to a report by Alegemeiner. The survey asks, �Do you think the use of the Y-word by [Tottenham Hotspur] Spurs fans contributes to a lack of clarity on what constitutes antisemitic abuse by fans, even if unintentional?� and �To what extent do you agree that the use of the Y-word needs to be reassessed?�
    The survey is being done as the English Premier League kicks off this coming weekend. The team has a sizable contingent of Jewish fans. However, according to Algemeiner, in the past some rivals have targeted the Tottenham team by deploying the word Yids in offensive and derogatory chants. [Jerusalem Post]

    Should British people be anti-Semitic? They are almost as bad as Germans.
