Hillsborough: 22 Years Later

22 years later, there are still families and survivors coming to terms with the unspeakable tragedy they've suffered. There are still many who don't understand the actual causes of the disaster, in part thanks to a major newspaper which continues to traffic in lies. And there are many still fighting for justice and the truth. After 22 years.

As a supporter on the wrong side of the ocean, it's impossible to fully empathize with those who lost loved ones. I will never be able to fathom how horrible April 15 1989 was for them. But the sentiment remains sincere. All Liverpool fans – all football fans – can sympathize with the tragedy and fight to ensure it never happens again. You'll never walk alone.
