Lolo Jones Tweets To Paralyzed Football Player - "get checked for a concussion. clearly u've been hit in the head..."

What an idiot. This is why I have no respect for Lolo. She was already down on my list, not for her Olympic performance, but how she handled herself afterwards. This finishes the job.

Lolo just needs to go away.

Blolo with a lowblow

Dawn Harper would never have tweeted that.

I saw it and had no idea who he was either, until I saw the follow up tweets. Can hardly expect a girl to be a fb expert and can you imagine the volume of crazy tweets she gets?

I give her a pass here.

of all the athletes in the world there are to hate, this is the one we pick?

Geez, we do eat our own!

That is called making something out of nothing. Should she investigate every person that posts on her FB and twitter? It was lighthearted banter.

I say she just gave him a dose of reality, to understand that not every celebrity is gonna be nice to you just because of a disability. Him sitting in his wheelchair is his avatar.

Why Is it we can't treat disabled people like "normal" people? Lolo didn't say anything vicious or related to the injury. He talked big, and she talked big back - all in gest, right? Let the guy be normal!

DSK raped an African maid and then the media and the DA each raped her again. She will next be raped in the Justice system.

Yet you clowns are pissed at Lolo

This isn't even news.

I feeel bad for people that have to put up with her crap on a daily basis.

This is SO not news. But, some of you aren't getting the responses right. Lolo didn't know who he was and did NOT know he was in a wheelchair. Perfectly acceptable response...maybe she should have looked at his avatar, but she didn't, so no big deal. I'm not even necessarily a fan of hers, but she did nothing wrong here.

She didn't apologize after, that's f*cking ridiculous.

No one has mentioned that she was right about him being hit in the head.

Legrand actually apologized to Lolo for starting the whole mess. Neither of them could have imagined it would turn into a twittergate. Of course, he was just having some fun as was Lolo. Everyone else needs to remove the stick from their ass.

The fact that you already had a hate-on for her before this obviosly biases your response on this to the point of idiocy.

Look at it through her monitor (or smartphone, whatever):

1. She gets a tweet challenging her to race, clearly jokingly.

2. The tweet is from someone whose bio describes HIMSELF as a "Defensive Tackle for Tampa Bay Buccaneers"

She posted back, also clearly joking, implying the request was crazy and referencing his status as an athlete in a contact sport.

He humorously challenged her to a race, and she responded in kind. Any awkwardness around disability flowed from HIS decision to challenge her from a wheelchair (which was fairly clever in the irony - nice media grab by LeGrand). Only an utter moron or someone living with autism would see this as anything other than good-natured, since she clearly didn't know he was physically disabled. Of course, the only person with a real right to be offended, LEGRAND himself, is being gracious, while anonymous letsrun clowns are letting it ruin their morning wank.

Do you think Lolo Jones does a quick Google search on every 15-35 year-old dude who blows up her Twitter? that She has over 325,000 followers. Do you have any idea how many tweets and DMs she must get daily? Morons!

and the guy replied to her page that he wasn't even upset about it.

if the so-called victim wasn't bothered by it, the rest of the "we're offended by everything" contigent needs to just shut the hell up and let it go.

Not knowing who he was and assuming he were a pro football player, I would probably reply similarly to Lolo - probably less PC. It has to be annoying as an athlete to hear all these guys from other sports claim to be as fast or faster than sprinters. I'm guessing that's what her thought was after reading his message - another football player who thinks hes a world class sprinter.
