Lolo

[Spider-Dan]

You know what ... had they of kept quiet after their medals many would have given them due credit.

Dawn Harper "kept quiet" after she won the gold in 2008, and look what it got her: 4 years later, it's still All About LoLo.

You are a pretty informed guy so I'm not sure why you keep wanting to pretend the media only discovered her the day she announced she was a Christian and is still a virgin. I guess the fact she appeared headed for gold in 2008 but clipped a hurdle was conveniently swept under the rug.

Um, the woman who you described as a "poor winner" actually won that gold, yet the story was "LoLo Jones fails to win medal."  And in London, she won a silver and the story was the same thing: "LoLo Jones fails to win medal."  She has every right in the world to be displeased with the disparate media treatment between herself and LoLo.

Attack the media maybe ... not Lolo. That's just silly.

If Usain Bolt (a favorite)  tripped and lost a race then that would have been bigger news than if Gay had won. It's just the way it goes. People love to dwell on the negatives much more than celebrate the accomplishments.

Well, that explains the first race, and you didn't hear Harper say anything after that one.

But the second race, where Harper beat her again, and it's still Lolo this and Lolo that... I understand why both women were a bit annoyed.

Again, it's not like the media is running with this story on their own.  Lolo is the one putting all this information out there and making herself the media darling.  Athletes who want nothing to do with the media... have nothing to do with the media, instead of serving up juicy interest stories.
