Why does the football world enjoy Spurs losing this much?
Aaron — ProfSpur — joins Jim for the second episode of The Professor. We unpack his essay arguing that what looks like banter is actually structural: a class theory of why the rest of the football world wanted Tottenham relegated, even when their own teams were having historic seasons.
The Brighton chant Spurs weren't even involved in. The Big-6 entitlement from above. The historic-club resentment from below. The London / regional class layer. The media tone we've all noticed but few people name. And why "resentment" is the more accurate word than "hate."
