Will everyone kindly shut up about Gabby’s hair?

Gold medal gymnast Gabby Douglas is poised to be America’s newest sweetheart.  She’s ridiculously talented, she’s got a fun attitude, and she’s the first black gymnast to win the all-around individual gold in the Olympics.  So why is everyone so focused on her hair?  Ridiculous!  Mary J. Blige’s stylist says, “I think black girls in particular view her as a representation of themselves for the world to see. She just needs some Smooth and Shine gel and she’d be OK.’’

Gabby’s true fans agree that the hair hoopla is beyond stupid.  One fan shares, “I can’t imagine winning all she has and then reading headlines about how bad your hair looks. I’m the same age and I’d be somewhere crying if I read that about myself. I hope she stands strong and just ignores it.’’

What do you think about Gabby’s hair hype?
