Gabby Douglas's hair was one. Hey yeah, I snickered at home, (I snickered at Phelps wing flap & Farrah hitting his head to celebrate, also) but to go on Twitter and such and complain about her hair like her hairstyle was tallied in the points for her Gold medal was silly. Especially the black women going in. Sweethearts some of you won't work out because of your hair. This slim trim young lady got the Gold while you became more out of shape sitting at home watching her get it.
SideNote: I didn't think the monkey doing gymnastics was a racist nod to Gabby. 1) The monkey is male and not on the same apparatus as Gabby. 2) NBC played the same commercial many time before Gabby got the Gold. Sometimes The Race Sensitive need to think. Some of you guys didn't mind it either until the Story Broke. STHU & Use your heads
Poor Usain Bolt!!! Not a major fan (I'm a Walter Dix & Yohan Blake Fan) but give the guy a break. Bottle gets thrown in his direction. Carl Lewis opened his yap. So he responded. Had Lewis not made a comment about Drug Testing in Jamaica, we would not ever know that Bolt lose all respect for the Former Olympian & Record Holder. Now the IOC says to "Expect more drug testing for Jamaica. All because he's The Fastest Man in the World now.
Folks could not focus on Phelps becoming the Most Decorated Olympian for pointing out that he didn't win every race or the infamous picture with the Marijuana Bong. Let his past be his past. And Most Decorated includes all the Bronzes and the Silvers, not just the Golds. I want some of these opinionated reporters to stop stirring the pot. The Cooking Pot not the Illegal Drugs.
Speaking of Illegal Drugs. Everybody that were banned from the Games, Athletes and Fans, deserved to be Banned. Oh there were The Racist Tweets, The sprinter, who didn't make roll call, the drunken woman athlete, the fans that made monkey noises at the Nigerian Basketball Players, the American test Positive for Marijuana (what were you doing eating baked goods while in training) and any other actions that got someone thrown out of the Olympics. People really showed their behinds these games. Next Olympics games there should be Behavior seminars for Athletes and Behavior pamphlets with all the tickets for the fans. Sad to do this to Adults but its need
I will say I did enjoy the games so far (one moiré day) despite controversy. I cried during the Opening Ceremony's. I cried when Mo Farrah and Galen Rupp beat the Bekele brothers in the 10,000m. I felt proud to see Gabrielle Douglas get Gold. I was proud to Phelps wave a golden goodbye on a Great career. South Africa's Oscar Pistorious & Caster Semena are always Great inspiration. My voice should be gone for yelling at all the USA racers, the swimmers but especially the Track & Field. But that come from being in "Track & Field Nerd" Daughters Mode.
But next Olympics can we do away with the E! News, Perez Hilton style of reporting the controversies. It has to stop. Alright more Gold to Win.
