Posted byBy popadmin | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

Olympic hurdler Lolo Jones put all the critics behind her and showed off her gorgeous legs in a black leather shoes and studded black heels. The 110 meter hurdle runner faced a slew of criticism after placing fourth at the 2012 London Olympics even her teammates trashed the media for ignoring their accomplishments for Lolo’s seemingly low accomplishment.

This weekend at Roundhouse in Camden, the drama was left outside. Inside Lolo partied with rapper Nas and other Olympians including Hope Solo. Nas tweeted a photo with the hurdler with water spots on her blouse. One fan insinuated she was drooling but Lolo issued a correction…sort of..

“I wasn’t drooling… someone spilled a drink on me… Ok I was drooling.”

Meanwhile Lolo was receiving some encouragement from former basketball star Shaquielle O’Neal. She recalled receiving a call from the Diesel,

“It was like the pep talk of my life, but it was 23 seconds or something,” Jones said. “But it was packed full of, like, ‘Get it together’ and ‘You should not be ashamed of what you did. Don’t apologize, don’t feel bad about your performance, you didn’t let anyone down.’ He was pretty much, ‘Go after the next one.’ And it was just motivational.”

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.
