Donte Stallworth was on his morning commute last month, a five-block morning ritual in this attempt at a new life, when he walked past the White House’s north lawn. He smiled as he recalled an old memory.

Back in his old life — way, way back — when he was a football player, he and his University of Tennessee teammates were national champions and guests at the White House. Stallworth, a talented freshman wide receiver, hadn’t played that 1998 season, sitting out as a redshirt, but he joined his team anyway as it presented President Bill Clinton and Vice President Al Gore with orange Volunteers jerseys.

That was August 1999, and back then Stallworth was just an 18-year-old with his future in front of him, a kid with a small role in something big. “Life,” he said, looking back on this November morning, “as a rookie.”

Stallworth, now 34, went on to become a star at Tennessee, a first-round pick in the 2002 NFL draft, and a 10-year NFL veteran scarred and stigmatized by a reckless mistake that left one man dead . But as he walked west on Pennsylvania Avenue, his thumbs looped around backpack straps as he waited to cross 17th Street NW, Stallworth is a rookie again — trying to make that difficult and unnerving transition from NFL life into the real world.

Couldn’t happen to a nicer drunk-driving murderer.

He is a truther.

Twitter was too “Orwellian” for him, but Huffypo isn’t?

The Huffington Post continues its slog toward profitability a little less than four years after it was acquired for $315 million by AOL,
which made heavy investments in talent, global expansion.."

Obviously , Arianna doesn't want to spend that $315 million with anyone else.
She hires Donte as a "fellow" , and doesn't even pay him a living wage !
Arianna pushes for $15.00 per hour as a living wage , but expects the public to support her budding journalist.
That's like in Ferguson Mo., she wanted two reporters to remain there but wasn't willing to pay them; and she went to "Go Fund Me" to pay their salaries.
Go figure the liberal left who "talk the talk , but don't walk the walk"
Arianna , pay Donte a "Living wage ",..you cheap ... !

does she still own it

[Tilted Irish Kilt]

The Huffington - FLuffington Post was bought by AOL News .
I beleive that she co-owns the Huffinton Post still with AOL , but she is the Manager of the production.
According to Drudge, they are expanding internationally into Arabic, etc. at :

[mrsmith]

In a fair world they would pay their readers

[GeronL]

Reading the WaPo story I am amazed at how brazenly ignorant Dante is...not stupid, but ignorant!

I expect that he is a great fit for a $10/hour "job" at the HuffyPoo.
