Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.The Leicester City Riders coach, Bob Donewald, and his band of Americans have pumped life into the Granby Halls this season, but tonight they are on a hat-trick of home defeats against the Budweiser League champions, London Towers.
Riders' "in your face" style has reaped the worst foul count in the League, averaging 25 per game, and Donewald returns after serving a two-game ban for being ejected from the League Trophy defeat by Chester Jets. But the crowd at Granby have responded and the London coach, Kevin Cadle, is wary of the greeting awaiting his team: "Games at Leicester have always been tough, but now they're getting their fans back with that aggressive home court atmosphere."
Towers, toughened by a run that has taken them into the last 32 of the European Cup, should hardly be psyched out. The Leicester-born Karl Brown, who left London Leopards in the summer to join the Towers, said: "In the long run the European campaign will help. It's hard, but it brings the players' level up."
