This is all due to a few bad apples who support Liverpool. I would encourage everyone to D/L the podcast from today, and then write to Hicks and Gillette here: http://www.liverpoolfc.tv/hcu/contact/ The short version of the story is that Steven made some inflammatory comments about Hillsboro, and in turn a few people within the American supporter's groups went after his show, the show's sponsors, and now are making threats against his kids. Cohen has responded by quitting the show. I'm not here to debate Hillsboro, nor justify Cohen's comments (I mostly disagree with him). I'm here to let you all know that we've lost one of the best outlets for soccer in this country. Like it or not, like Cohen or not, he and his show have done a TON for the game in the states.
Radiohead is always good but yeah, nothing. It's so strange. Even at the height of the boycott I always thought the show would emerge stronger. And with the sport increasing its visibility in America, it really bums me out that the lads won't reap the rewards of years and years of effort. So abrupt and gutting. I believe we'll see/hear the guys again somewhere sometime. Till then all the best to Steven, Kenny, and Rafa. I'm tellin ya, it's that Rogers fault. He pisses off to China and you see what happens?!
I just finished listening to the podcast after setting myself up after reading through all these posts on different forums. I am shocked that this will be the last show but what I like about the show was all the support the public gave Steven and Kenny I think it was a nice send off but at the end of the day we have lost a great show. I hope with the passion and support from the callers and emailers will give them the strength to return some day in the future
I liked the caller who bitched about his 442 subscription. Has there ever been a worse sponsor in terms of fulfilling their end of the agreement? When the LFC boycott got them to stop sponsoring the show I had to chuckle.
