Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports
Well its not worked. But here comes Elon to put some rocket fuel up it.
That's what they said years ago in the Y-word discussion.
Suddenly, people were getting nicked by the police.
I'll say this though: They don't represent me and by the looks of it most other Spurs supporters, so perhaps they should be the ones to STFU about what "we" are and what "we" mayhaps "should be above".
NOT WORKED!!!! Trust me it's Worked half the really shitty things running rampant started there. They don't need president Lex it's the focus group breeding ground and hot bed for intolerance of all persuasions. It's the one thing I'd shut down quicker than Chelsea.
I fear you may be understating the problem.
I don't agree with how that situation was treated, but the Y-word would've been covered under the racial equality act .. so actually enforceable.
And no fan led group will represent everyone, seems most of this board disagrees with them but reddit/twitter are more favourable .. different platforms will reflect different viewpoints. They have their perception of what Spurs fans are like and you have yours.
What's next ?
'Ars*nal fan on a string'
'My Old Man'
Both about violence.
Some folk grew up with only one parent or neither so the songs may make them feel bad too.

Let’s analyse “Come On You Spurs…”
1. Aggressive to say the least. And a bit noisy. Noise can make people feel uneasy.
2. Impolite. How about, “please try your best but don’t get too stressed and watch out for your mental health”.
3. “Spurs” harps back to the days of fighting cockerels which was a disgusting abuse of animal welfare. Also, many young people today identify as part chicken.
4. “Come” sounds like cum - open to misinterpretation, don’t you know that kids are present, you sick, rude outdated legacy fan?!
How about replacing with:
Win or lose,
We love the white and blues,
And all the other players and teams,
Which is lovely inclusive news!
Catchy?

I've yet really to see anyone on Twitter, who wasn't already a sycophant, praise them.
Good thing none of these people heard the Paxton abuse Campbell with "your old man died of shame" back in the day.
They’ve got some front haven’t theyMartin Cloake of THST claimed it was lies and photoshop (Kat's tweet) then when she came out and apologised for it he applauded her class and courage
Cloake talks sense and seems like a decent bloke but he needs get that mouth to rein her fucking neck in
And many more fans won’t.
Also, if the trust is entitled to say that, then by the same token, people who think they’re talking shite are also allowed to express their views.
Free speech isn’t a one way thing.
End of.
Funny enough they used to revel in their reputation singing "You've got DiCanio, we've got your stereo!" When playing Spam!
They come across as the types that would book a treasury meeting on at the same time as a match to be able to see who was really committed to the trust.
I can imagine the online bubble they live in consisting of twitter and reddit only encourages this behaviour.
That’s modern society in general now, where Twitter and Reddit are seen as the mouthpiece of the majority and not agreeing with the mass there means you’re some kind of ignorant bigot.
