Cohen Gate: Another Sponsor Responds
Michael Johnson on the Steel Army Pubcast had an interview with Jeff McIntyre of Ruffneck Wear.com, a company who has become caught in the middle of the LFCNY’s campaign against Steven Cohen due to their partnership/sponsorship of Cohen and his radio show.
Ruffneck Wear is in a legally binding long term contract with World Soccer Daily so they are not able to withdraw their sponsorship, but Jeff is clearly not pleased with Steven Cohen’s comments and distanced himself and his company as best he could from what has occurred. LFCNY has removed Ruffneck Wear from their list of sponsors for individuals to contact as part of their boycott campaign as Jeff and the company are working with LFCNY to help support the Justice for 96 Campaign.
Ruffneck Wear is in a tough spot and I feel they are handling this situation as best as they possibly can within the boundaries of their legal obligations under their contract with Cohen’s company.
I encourage everyone to listen to the interview, CohenGate is discussed around the 19:30 mark.
