Fox News Says Gabby Douglas’ Outfits Aren’t Patriotic Enough

114. Exactly.

The others have the same outfits.

To be honest, I complained a bit about some of the uniforms this year. I mean, usually there is a cohesive theme to the design of all the athletes uniforms. But this year it's sort of like anything goes. I don't think they need to all look like flags, but just a general use of the US colors is usually typical.

I found it most noticeable with the swim teams this year. Both from the US and other countries. Some wore plain black suits, I saw one or two who had on these whitish-gray suits with orange striping (which swimmers from other teams wore as well.) Soni and others had hot pink suits they sometimes wore. Personally, I really didn't like the non-uniform uniforms this year. Especially with the swimmers. It does make it harder to tell who is from where when they are all just wearing black or whatever.

The woman from the US who won the shooting event was wearing what looked like a brown Carhart jacket and black yoga pants when she received her medal. It did not look good in my opinion.

But singling out Gabby in this case smacks of racism. The gymnasts all wore the same uniforms - which I saw them in at various times in pink, blue, red, and white.
