Did anyone of you guys hear about Liverpool supporters Steven Cohen boycott?
He was the presenter of a very popular soccer tv show on Fox and a satelite radio show in the USA. He is a chelsea fan. Anyway back around the time of the Hillsborough anniversary this year, he was on his show, which is broadcast to millions of soccer fans around the US, saying that Liverpool fans were to blame for what happened at Hillsborough and spreading all the rest of the myths and lies about what happened. He always hated Liverpool FC and as far as i know would use every opportunity to take digs and communicate his hate for them on his show in the past. The problem is that alot of US soccer fans who wouldnt have the best knowledge of what happened at Hillsborough ,would no doubt take the lies that he was spewing on his show as the truth. He even ignored attempts by fair minded fans to educate him on the facts of the disaster just so he could continues spreading his hate and lies and to "provoke liverpool supporters" as he bragged about in the past.
Since then a campaign was organised by Liverpool supporters to get him off the air and to stop him spreading his lies and hate.The campaign was led by an american liverpool supporter as far as i know. A boycott of all advertisers to his show was arranged. This boycott was backed by the likes of 442 magazine, WorldSoccerShop, Celtic FC amongst many others. Chelsea FC spoke out against him and distanced themselves from him. Eventually FOX fired him and now his radio show is off the air because many of his advertisers who funded it have pulled out.
Its great that a horrible fucker like this has been removed from tv and radio and cant spread his hate and lies anymore.
