Baddiel (along with that other twat, Skinner) made themselves the TV personality ambassadors of England during one particular World Cup campaign - didn't they write that song "Three Lions On A Shirt"? - and their miserable unfunny faces were every where that year. There was that particularly moronic show that they did (was it on Friday nights?), where they planted their lazy arses on big armchairs on a stage and simply engaged in "boys chat" about football. Skinner managed to come up with a few lame "gags" each show, but Baddiel was pathetic and boring. I could gladly have smacked his smug face several times over. He's supposed to be a comedian, yet he isn't funny, and I never really knew what his job was at the BBC. Ant and Dec are twats, but at least they are lovable twats; Baddiel is simply a twat. And now this! Poking his nose into something and trying to politicise a word that everyone in football knows, and has known for decades - isn't used or taken offensively. People like Baddiel make me sick.
The only sensible debate David Baddiel has ever been involved in... [video=youtube_share;9UMedd03JCA]http://youtu.be/9UMedd03JCA[/video]
Baddiel has the skill of partnering with funnier people. Was the least funny one in Newman and Baddiel, Baddiel and Skinner and the Mary Whitehouse experience.
Those old guys were funny, but it's the other bloke who wrote those sketches, not Baddiel. Without the other comedian - the funny one - those sketches would fall flat.
Those were about the only sketches Newman & Baddiel worked on together - because they couldn't stand each other.
Badiel was on Talksport earlier and his justification for going after Spurs fans is even worse than I thought. He was abused by Chelsea fans for being Jewish in a recent game, so it's our fault, apparently. Maybe going after the West Ham and Chelsea fans that openly hurl anti-Semitic abuse every season might be a start, eh?
Even his fellow fans think he's a tit! Cannot - and will not - condone racial abuse, of any kind, but what does Baddiel expect from the knuckle-draggers who travel to watch Chavs? If only he'd decided to follow his roots and support the mighty Spurs, he could be one of the many chanting "Yid Army!" until they get giddy.
Given there were plenty of jokes about Spurs' Jewish support base on Fantasy Football League, it's a bit rich of Baddiel to pipe up now.
“It's simply to raise awareness that the y-word is - and has been for many, many years - a race hate word. It's our belief that some football fans may not even realise this, and the film is designed therefore to inform and raise debate." Is this statement in anyway incorrect?
Yes it is. In Yiddish, a polite way to address a fellow Jew whose name one does not know is Reb Yid, meaning "Sir." The Yiddish words yidish or yiddisher (from Middle High German jüdisch) is an adjective derived from the noun Yid, and thus means "Jewish".
He's a disgrace. Instead of reporting the fans that made him uncomfortable with their anti-semitism, he decided to change where he sat in Stamford Bridge and blame Spurs fans
Interesting that a jew would not know that. More interesting that not a single jew from the Board of Deputies of British Jews knew that either and attached their backing to it. Oh well, you know best.
Haven't heard any anti-Semitic abuse in recent seasons. KIO and other initiatives seem to have reduced the problem
