This document has been created to explain and update for you the Boycott of Steven Cohen as heard on the SiriusXM satellite radio show World Soccer Daily.
Many Liverpool supporters have taken offense to Steven Cohen's claims over the first half of 2009 whereby he accuses Liverpool supporters of having “shared responsibility” in the Deaths of the 96 at Hillsborough on April 15th, 1989.
He has made repeated claims on air that his “opinion” will not change and he is free to express that opinion. We have challenged him to show authoritative evidence to back up his “opinion”. He refused in spite of the overwhelming response from Liverpool supporters, and others, who gave him factual proof his “opinion” is wrong. So we took the extraordinary step to boycott his show.
This has led to over half of his original sponsors to leave. It has also led to Fox Soccer Channel to not renew his contract as co-host of Fox Football Fone-in for 2009-2010. Liverpool FC have condemned him. Chelsea FC have distanced themselves from him.
We would like your continued support in this boycott campaign.
So what can you do to help? Please continue to check this website:

We would like you to email the advertisers who remain with the show or are new ones explaining you will not use their service or product due to the boycott. Just a simple message is all it takes.
We also would like you to send a thank you email to those who have left his show. And if at all possible to use their product or service and explain you are doing so due to them leaving World Soccer Daily show.
It seems simple enough. But this has been very effective and your help in this campaign is crucial to it’s continued effect.
Contrary to some reports found in cyberspace, we are NOT asking for World Soccer Daily to be removed from SiriusXM’s show lineup. We are asking for Steven Cohen to no longer be co-host due to his inability to adhere to his various apologies since 2006 as his apologies are not binding on his actions because he breaks them repeatedly.
