Support the independent voice of Dallas and help keep the future of Dallas Observer free.
Looks like the Associated Press has picked up on the petition calling for Dirk Nowitzki to become "Fahnenträger für die Olympischen Spiele 2008 in Peking." Thus far, some 3,864 folks have signed the thing, demanding the Germans make Your Dallas Maverick their country's flag bearer at the Beijing Olympics. And Dirk digs it, saying today: "That would be super. I would be honored.'' Also, interesting use of the phrase "hammer hard" when referring to German's Group B opponents, among them teams from China, Angola, Greece, Spain and ... wuh-oh, the U.S. and A. --Robert Wilonsky
Keep the Dallas Observer Free... Since we started the Dallas Observer, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Dallas, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Dallas with no paywalls.
