Menschwarmers: Can the anti-Semitism of English soccer be cured?

Why are Tottenham Hotspur fans known as the Yid Army?

This week on Menschwarmers, our Jewish sports podcast, hosts Gabe and Jamie talk to Dave Gass, a freelance soccer commentator, about the rampant anti-Semitism of English soccer, including the famous Tottenham Hotspur and their fans, for some reason known as the “Yid Army”.

Menschwarmers is hosted by Gabe Pulver and Jamie Hirsh, produced by Michael Fraiman and Alex Rose, and edited by Alex Rose. Our music is “Brass” by 4bstr4ck3r feat. Daman. You can follow the Menschwarmers on Twitter, and find Dave Gass on Twitter and MLSsoccer.com.
