The only gracious way to accept an insult is to ignore it; if you can't ignore it, top it; if you can't top it, laugh at it; if you can't laugh at it, it's probably deserved. -

we cant have closure on this untill
a) His wife realises what an asshole this guy is
b) She kicks him out and he goes and lives under a bridge with an open sewer
c) The local winos and smackheads give him a kicking everynightThose that hid Anne Frank were breaking the law.

I could not dig, I dared not rob:
Therefore I lied to please the mob.
Now all my lies are proved untrue
And I must face the men I slew.

Mine angry and defrauded young?Comment

He's gone from the Fox tv phone-in show.
He's still got his own radio programme though (WSD) where no doubt his vitriol will now be cranked up a notch and he will continue to cloud the issue by acting as the victim.
Statement from those at the forefront of the campaign:
The LFCNY applauds Fox Soccer Channel and Chelsea FC.
New York, Wednesday 29th July 2009 – In a stunning rebuke and continuation of his isolation from the football world, Fox Soccer Channel (FSC) today announced that Steven Cohen would not be returning to host the FSC show Fox Football Fone In (FFF) which he has co-hosted for 4 years. Just last week, Chelsea FC, the club Steven Cohen nominally supports, also rebuked him saying, “[h]e is not a representative, nor ever has been a representative of the club. We have some 90 million fans worldwide and cannot account for every fan’s opinion.”
Steven Cohen chose to lie and smear the 96 Liverpool fans who died tragically at Hillsborough in 1989, seeing their deaths as a way to boost his ratings by denigrating them. Steven Cohen now finds himself in the position of being rejected by those in football whose opinions matter. The LFCNY applauds FSC for its position not to re-instate Steven Cohen as co-host of FFF and we thank Chelsea FC for honoring the memory of 96 of our fellow fans. While we may not support Chelsea FC on the field of play, we recognize that they understand that there are some things that are bigger than partisan loyalties and we sincerely thank them for their position.
FSC, like many others in the football world have realized just how toxic Steven Cohen and his odious lies are. Some of the biggest advertisers in the game - Heineken, FourFourTwo – have pulled their support of him and now FSC, the biggest broadcaster of soccer in the USA has done the same. Steven Cohen no longer will have a platform to cross-promote his World Soccer Daily advertisers on FFF. Advertisers and supporters, large and small, are seeing Steven Cohen for what he is, a merchant of hate. They are choosing not to be associated with him, not to give him their money to deride the deaths of 96 football fans in their name.
Steven Cohen has lost the support of his own team, Chelsea FC, his broadcast partner, FSC and over 50 percent of his original sponsors. The LFCNY recognizes that all these decisions were not taken lightly and we thank all. This week we particularly thank FSC and Chelsea FC. Next week, we look forward to thanking more sponsors and supporters who will leave Steven Cohen because of his lies and hate.
The LFCNY and so many Liverpool fans across North America and the world over have worked tirelessly to get to this point, but the battle is far from over. Steven Cohen has been removed from TV. He now must be removed from satellite radio and we call on Sirius/XM to follow the lead of FSC to cancel its contract with him.
There are 96 families on Merseyside who do not deserve to have to suffer the lies and hatred of Steven Cohen anymore.
