Fox News Wonders Why Team USA's Uniforms Are Not Patriotic Enough

Fox News Wonders Why Team USA's Uniforms Are Not Patriotic Enough

Fox News had one burning question to raise after Gabby Douglas' gold medal performance at the women's gymnastics individual all-around competition in London: how is the athlete showing her patriotism if her uniform lacks stars and stripes?

On last week's "America Live," guest-host Alisyn Camerota discussed how "some folks" noticed that the "famous flag-styled outfits" of Olympics past were replaced by "yellow shirts, grey track suits and pink leotards" at the London games. Camerota and her guest, Sirius/XM radio host David Webb, took particular focus on Douglas' outfit.

"You know, Gabby had that great moment, and everyone was so excited, and she's in hot pink -- and that's her prerogative," Camerota said. Webb, who hosts a program on Sirius/XM's "Patriot" channel, wondered, "What's wrong with showing some pride?" He likened the uniform choice to a "kind of soft anti-American feeling that Americans can't show their exceptionalism." Camerota pointed out how other nations, like China, wore nationalistic colors.


Really?

Is this the type of shit they talk about on Faux News?

Who cares what color they were wearing. Young girls love pink - Gabby and Ali looked gorgeous in their hot pink outfits (that's the color worn at individual all-arounds).

What assholes at Fox.

The gymnasts compete to obtain scores from the judges, not to impress them with the awesome awesomeness of their ardent nationalsm.

Aside from which, they should be enthralled with her tweeting Bible verses. She's a regular Tebow in tights.
