Chris Bosh Loses Bid For Daughter To Travel To Olympics

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

Chris Bosh will not have the pleasure of his three-year old daughter, Trinity, watch him play at the London Olympics due to the possibility of terrorist threats?! The Miami Heat star started his bid earlier this month when he filed a lawsuit in Florida requesting his daughter be allowed to travel with him to the Summer Olympics where he’s scheduled to play for Team USA. Allison Mathis, the child’s mother fought the request insisting that even though Chris “is willing to take the risk of terrorism,” she doesn’t think a child “should be willingly taken to a place of promised danger.”

Looks like a judge sided with Allison. According to TMZ, the judge denied Chris’s request but reminded the couple they are free to make decide otherwise out of court.

Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

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.
