I read an earlier article on this hair thing and could not believe it. They were insulting this lovely girl all over Twitter. Her mother was extremely upset and accused them of trying to destroy her confidence in herself. She went on to lose her last event.
I don’t know if these insults had anything to do with her poor performance, but I know she was dumbstruck by the nastiness she was receiving.
It was a darn shame.

It’s that “crabs in a barrel” thing.

Just like attacking Michelle Bachmann for criticizing our panfereing politicians for their Islamic connections.

The enemy is political correctness and it must be rooted out branch and stem.

If their coaches are letting the athletes see Twitter commentary, the coaches are fools.

What's the big deal about an Olympic gymnast's being black, anyway? I remember when Dominique Dawes was competing - another bright, pretty girl and great athlete.

Watching last night, I noticed the entire US Gymnastics team wore their hair like Gabby last night

Pretty awesome that they all stand together and support each other. Makes us proud!

Crabs in a bucket... that’s what the dependency class/victim class are, nothing but crabs in a bucket. They’d rather pull one about to escape the bucket back down, than let it be free and prove that escape is possible.
