Posted byBy Popular Critic | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

UPDATE-Deion Sanders‘ divorce from Pilar Sanders has taken a vicious turn. Reportedly Pilar Sanders coordinated an attack with a friend on Deion in his Dallas mansion. The Hall of Famer told TMZ he was in the bedroom when Pilar and her friend pushed their way in and began “kicking, biting, and scratching” – all in front their sons! It didn’t take long before the news hit Twitter courtesy of Deion,

“Pray for me and my kids now! They just witnessed their mother and a friend jump me in my room. She’s going to jail n I’m pressing charges!

I’m sad my boys witnessed this mess but I warned the police department here that she was gone try n harm me and my boys. This is on my mama!”

The tweets were accompanied by a photo of Deion Sanders and his sons filing a police report against Pilar who was transported to the hospital for medical attention. This is sad on so many levels….

UPDATE: Pilar Sanders has been arrested and charged with assault after attacking Deion in his bedroom on Monday. She is being held in Collin County Jail on a misdemeanor domestic violence charge.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
