After Days of Drama, Chad Johnson ‘Staying Afloat’

Posted byBy ABS Contributor | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

Former Miami Dolphin Chad Johnson has seen better days. After allegedly head-butting now estranged wife Evelyn Lozada, Johnson has lost his wife, job and TV show overnight. Literally. The embattled wideout spoke on the subject, while not directly, via his Twitter account.

“I haven’t had to tread water in a long time….Special thank you to my fans…family…friends for keeping me afloat…” Johnson changed his Twitter profile picture to a road sign pointing in two directions; “Rock” and “Hard Place.”

Lozada filed for divorce just 41 days into their marriage and has dubbed herself as a spokeswoman for victims of domestic violence everywhere. “Domestic violence is not okay, and hopefully my taking a stand will help encourage other women to break their silence as well,” she said.

Lozada’s aggressive and confrontational behavior on her show “Basketball Wives” has lead some to question what happened that day. According to her, Johnson head butted her after Lozada confronted Johnson about a receipt for condoms she found in his vehicle.

The event led to Johnson’s release by the Miami Dolphins. The meeting between head coach Joe Philbin and Johnson was caught on film by HBO’s Hard Knocks and aired this Tuesday.

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.
