Thanks to Leo Manzano, for the first time since 1968 an American will stand on the 1500 meter podium. Was that enough? NO. Controversy erupted when, during his victory celebration, Manzano pulled out the Mexican flag along with the USA flag. I don't care about any of this extra shit. Just go out and win. Thats what the Olympics are about. Just win. America is a country of immigrants. I think its ridiculous to ask people to choose between their culture and being viewed as a true American. Quiet as its kept, "regular" Americans are boring and bland anyway. Yea, I said it. I can say that because I'm not a "regular" American. I'll never be that. I don't want to be a regular anything. I refuse to let y'all ruin the Olympics for me with all this extra BS. Let that man live! How bout we focus on beating China with these medal counts?

P&G put a unique spin on the Olympics as they went behind the scenes with their Raising An Olympian series paying tribute to moms of Olympic athletes. Recently released is the story about Gabrielle Douglas' mom. Fans of Gabby learn about the sacrifice the two ladies made on the road to Olympic Gold. We hear two sides of the story: Natalie Hawkins as a mom and Gabby Douglas as an athlete. Many may not know Gabby moved away from her family in Virginia to Des Moines, Iowa to train. Her mom opens up saying, "Letting go of Gabrielle was one of the hardest things I've ever done in my life."Gabby discusses being homesick and the physical sacrifices she made to see her dreams come true. The stories of sacrifice and perseverance is a side of the Olympics rarely spotlighted. Touching series indeed. Watch below. I'm an OG (in my head) but I almost shed a tear. I'm so proud of Gabby!!! Congrats again to her and her family! Salute!
Every black person's play cousin, Gabby Douglas came thru for the Women's gymnastics team and played a major role and helping them crush Russia and bring home the gold. You wouldn't know that by reading the Washington Post's sister paper today. The paper left off Gabby in the photo and failed to mention her name in the article. Should I cry racism now or wait? Was it a coincidence? Did they miss the fact that she scored the most points? Cousin Gabby deserves her props as she has worked hard and she relocated to Iowa train and pursue her dreams. If I hear someone else say somethin else about her hair & I'm gonna SNAP!
