I got shot down here when brought the subject up, you can't even my mention the word 'Jew' and everyone is up in arms. I actually heard the caller and it wasn't antisemitic, the caller said 'Levy is Jew' as in he's tight and he won't budge on the price. I don't think he was trying to demean Jews, it was taken out of context, Jewish business men/women are very successful and tend to be tight with their money or some might say savvy generally speaking. It's actually a compliment of their success. It's like saying Irish like their Guinness... It's all about the context, unfortunately the media is biased, controlled, owned and ran by (ahem) you can guess what's next.
Dream on if you think we're getting an apology
He’s saying Jewish people are “tight with their money”. He’s painting them in a negative light and saying all Jews are the same. Pretty anti-Semitic to me. He could have just said, “Levy is tight with his money”. The fact he had to bring his religion in to it, which had nothing to do with it, proves the guy has an issue with Jews.
If he’d gone on and said, “Yeah there’s a few Muslim players at Spurs so they better watch out the stadium doesn’t get blown up” - that wouldn’t be okay, and it’s just the same as what he’s said.
