Lolo Jones needs an education in manners

CALIFORNIA -- Lolo Jones needs an education in manners

Ms. Jones is a student of the new internet world. Ms Jones should know to take the time to do research before making anything public. 

Ms. Jones did not do so and now she is paying the consequences.

This is just another form of Black on Black crime, another form of telling Black Disabled americans they don't count.  

My fellow Black Disabled writer, poet, Hip Hop artist or as he describes it, Crip Hop artist Leroy Moore Jr. from Berkeley, California makes it clear.

Straight . . . No Chaser God is money, money is God; The Wet Dreams of American Aristocrats

by Desi Cortez, desicortez@Blackathlete.com

Denver, CO.----Here’s a stark reality; most folks won’t be robbed by a gun-toting thug. No, instead far too-many of us will  be taken to the bank . . . by a banker - a serpent in alligator loafers,  shark skin suit and claiming Ivy League/Wall Street credentials.
Everything is not as it appears . . . .
Eradicating organized labor, undermining worker-ant solidarity, that’s what’s really going on right under our noses. Class warfare waged by the world class wealthy against us workers bees.

Grant Hill’s Response to Jalen Rose

By Grant Hill
 
“The Fab Five,” an ESPN film about the Michigan basketball careers of Jalen Rose, Juwan Howard, Chris Webber, Jimmy King and Ray Jackson from 1991 to 1993, was broadcast for the first time Sunday night. In the show, Rose, the show’s executive producer, stated that Duke recruited only black players he considered to be “Uncle Toms.” Grant Hill, a player on the Duke team that beat Michigan in the 1992 Final Four, reflected on Rose’s comments.
I am a fan, friend and longtime competitor of the Fab Five.

The Game of Golf

By Eric G. Satterwhite, columnist for Blackathlete.com(Black Athlete Sports Network)
 
A retired Military soldier with a deep rooted (heart area) appreciation of the Golf GAME is sitting in front of the televison tube with his 3-year-old son. The Soldier never realizes at that point his beloved son is connecting to the Golf GAME action that his Dad views. The youth unabtedly surmises this televised spectacle of a focused group of polo shirt clad-- double knit slack wearing  "grown up" men ; so

Beyond the game of hoops

Stringer trains women to lead in more than sports
by Joy Buchanan and Luke Visconti
 
NEWARK -- Rutgers University head women's basketball coach C. Vivian Stringer wanted to be a cheerleader in high school to get close to the boys.
She was only the second Black cheerleader in the history of her Pennsylvania high school; she had to sue to get on the squad. No women were closer to the male players than the cheerleaders.
She wanted to be with them so the players could hear her shouting instructions to them on the field.

Straight No Chaser: Humanizing Rush??

The Golf Channel is attempting the impossible
by Desi Cortez, BASN Columnist, desicortez@blackathlete.com

VY has Titans in his rear view mirror

Young bids farewell, looks forward to next NFL opportunity
by David Boclair, 
 
NASHVILLE -- Vince Young took to Twitter on Wednesday evening to bid farewell to the Tennessee Titans and their fans.

“I had a great run with the Titans and appreciate what the organization did for me,” he said in one tweet. “The staff was great and I am thankful for all they did.”

He followed that immediately with, “To new beginnings. Really excited to bring my talents to a new team.”

Hours earlier team owner Bud Adams announced in a statement that the Titans intended to cut ties with the quarterback, who was the team’s first-round draft pick (third overall) in 2006.

Straight No Chaser: Rocky comes to life

Another chapter in the Tebow 'legend' by Desi Cortez, BASN Columnist, 

DENVER (BASN) --Tim Tebow can't possibly grasp the enormous expectations riding,  . . .  mounted-upon his modern-day semi-mobile gladiator type shoulders. 
Just visualize  the coming Bronco head coaching interviews. "So Coach Dungy, are you a Tim Tebow Christian soldier for Christ?"
This kid's an updated "Rocky" come to life,  toting a pigskin covered bible around, n' touting  the "good word," an authentic, genuine  American  image .
