Sad Day for Soccer in America
August 21, 2009
Hands down the best podcast in America, World Soccer Daily, has been taken off the air. This has been the only daily soccer podcast in America over the past seven years, and has personally been in my life constantly for the past 2 years. A single blog post can not get into the politics between supporters groups from Liverpool Football Club (Officially supported by the club and their AMERICAN owners) and WSD. After anti-semitism and threats on his family (including Steven’s children’s friends), Steven has decided to pull the plug. I am extremely incensed and sad.
This will not help my dislike for Liverpool, but I guess this is all about hate in the first place, so more of it won’t help. As an American, I have no stake in what happened on that fateful day on April 15, 1989 in Hillsborough, but as a human what happened was terribly sad and horrific. Fan safety should be the number one concern for everybody working at a ground and on this day that was not the case.
As you know, I love this game immensely and am sad for this day…
There are two sides to every story, and Steven bears some of the blame, but like I said, one blog post cannot contain all the politics.
