English Premier League side Tottenham Hotspur has told supporters it is time to "move on" from using the "Y-word" -- deemed anti-Semitic -- after conducting a review of the term among the club's fanbase.
The review, which had over 23,000 responses, found that 94% of those surveyed acknowledged the Y-word can be considered a racist term against a Jewish person, the club said on Thursday.
The word "yid" has inoffensive origins within the Jewish community, but it took on a new meaning in the 1930s -- especially in the UK -- when it was used as a derogatory term for a Jew or a person of Jewish origin.

Janet Mills and her allies are counting on a gender gap to narrow Platner’s wide lead ahead of the June 9 primary to decide who will face incumbent Republican Sen. Susan Collins.
