Why are people so critical about Gabby Douglas (American gold medalist)?

[sephora]

Seriously what is wrong with people?

She is 16 years old, won 2 gold medals for America and people went on twitter to bitch about her hair being 'messy', and now fox news is saying that her leotard that she wore when she won gold was not patriotic enough. How come nothing was said when Nastia Liukin wore a pink leotard when she won gold a few years back?

It's sad really.

Because she's BLACK. They did the same thing to Venice and Serena. Every time a black person wins a medal they always want to go back to the hair and criticize. Her hair looks fine. I swear, this is what I mean when I say people are worried about the wrong sh*t. Hair really? Out of everything in the world or about the Olympics you want to talk about some dead follicles? o.o Stupid sh*t man. They need to go ahead and prosecute that crazy red headed guy who shot those people in the Colorado movie theatre, that's what they NEED to do.

I have found that no matter what,people are always going to have something to bitch about. Whether it be the olympics or our President. You can never make everyone happy.

Well Fox News reports on some of the dumbest things. I'm shocked that people still watch that.

And that news about the Animal Practice commercial airing right after Gabby's performance being called racist is absurd. Like the saying who smelt it dealt it. Those who point the finger have 3 fingers pointing back at them.

Personally people are probably jealous of Gabby's performance.

Fox News loves to go after anyone, labelling their victims as unpatriotic or not patriotic enough.

Two things you can do - one, realize how full of sh*t Fox News is. Two, realize what a bullsh*t sladerous accusation it is, to accuse someone of lack of patriotism. Don't let those things influence your life in the future.

A normal day Fox News. Pissing on everything to entertain the masses.

I Agree totally! Gabby's the bomb, she delivered in the clutch, and besides, I think she's really cute. I don't think the criticism bothers her, so there's another check in her 'awesome' column!

She was Americas sweetheart until it was revealed that she's been dating Chaz Bono for the past few months. (By the way, another great pic)

I honestly was very confused about what was being said about her, she looked completely fine to me, didn't even notice anything with the hair.
