30for30 on Hillsborough
Anybody see it yet? Wow. An incredible story and documentary. First time I ever heard about the disaster and cover up. I think it's the best 30for30 ESPN has done.

I haven't seen it yet, but it is pretty amazing. English football fans had a pretty notorious reputation at that point, and Liverpool in particular because of the Haysel Stadium disaster four years before (English clubs were still under a ban from playing in Europe when Hillsborough occurred). I suspect that's the main reason the police were able to get away with the coverup for as long as they did.

Stephen Gerrard lost a 10 year old cousin in it. He was pretty emotional after the Manchester City win this weekend, when they held the 25th anniversary memorial.

I wish they could've made it an hour longer to include more from the players that day and spent a few more minutes on the changes that were made to stadia after the disaster.
