Arsenal fans have traditionally called Tottenham fans 'Yids' because of a large jewish fanbase. Arsenal, however, have as many jewish fans as Spurs and Spurs fans now refer to themselves as Yids. Therefore I don't really think that the term is racist or abusive when used in this context.

Were you banned or not ?
Some of us are curious.And surely it couldn't have been for the term Yid ?
Thats like calling someone who speaks British "a Brit"
ie:
English speak British = Brits
Jewish speak Yiddish = Yids
Australians speak Aussie = OZ ?
