Media - Overlooking Valuable Athletes



What's up with Olympians not meddling but receiving excessive media coverage while some who are in fact meddling for team USA are receiving little or no media coverage. For example - Lola Jones even after not meddling in the 100 meters hurdle in 2008 or even the London Olympic Games, is still receiving more media coverage than ever! For what??!! Tonight, WFOR Miami's sports reporter, Joe Rose, announced that Lola didn't make it in the race. However, he failed to mention that Dawn Harper and Kelly Wells made it by receiving the silver and bronze medals respectively. Furthermore Dawn won the gold in 100 meters hurdles in the 2008 Olympics but these efforts seem to be overlooked by the media. I wonder why?
