Former Miami Dolphins football player Jonathan Martin is back in the news. Shortly after the devastating mass shooting at a Florida high school, Martin raised eyebrows when he posted a photo of a shotgun with several names included. The caption read, “When you’re a bullying victim and a coward, your options are suicide or revenge.”

Two of the names listed were former schoolmates of the athlete at Harvard-Westlake High School. Martin was arrested after the post, however, since his arrest, Harvard-Westlake is concerned he may be a threat. According to reports by TMZ, the school confirmed Martin checked himself into a mental facility but fears he may have already checked out. Additionally, the ex-NFL player lives only 45 minutes from the school. The restraining order was granted and Martin is to stay at least 150 yards away from the school.

Martin has been open about the bullying he suffered during his tenure in the NFL. Namely at the hands of Richie Incognito, one of the people named in his photo. An investigation conducted for the NFL found that Incognito engaged in persistent harassment of Martin starting in 2012. The investigation was concluded in 2014.

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.
