Fox News Says Gabby Douglas’ Outfits Aren’t Patriotic Enough
You had to know it was going to happen. You had to know that Fox News was waiting for a way to tarnish Gabby Douglas’ victories at the Olympics, and 
the folks at Fox have finally concocted a way; questioning how Douglas’ could be a true patriot if she’s not wearing the stars and stripes.
On last week’s “America Live,” host Alisyn Camerota speculated on how “some folks” noticed that the “famous flag-styled outfits” of Olympics past were replaced by “yellow shirts, grey track suits and pink leotards.”
Actually, I’m sure “some folks” means “Fox producers”, since no one’s been paying much attention to aesthetics. The Olympics is about talent and perseverance, not fashion, but what would the folks at Fox know about that?
Anyway, almost like clockwork, Camerota and her guest, Sirius/XM radio host David Webb, zoomed in on Gabby Douglas.
“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 speculated, “What’s wrong with showing some pride?” He compared Douglas’ uniform to a “kind of soft anti-American feeling that Americans can’t show their exceptionalism.” Camerota then pointed out how other nations, like China, wore nationalistic colors.
So now America should try to be like China? I thought conservatives hated communism?
This may very well be about color, but if so, it’s not about the color of Gabby Douglas’ outfits.
It is ironic though that Fox is calling out American uniforms as anti-patriotic, when what’s really anti-patriotic is saying anything that takes away from the achievements of America’s Olympic athletes. The real shame here is that the folks at Fox can’t see the hypocrisy in what they’re doing. Or maybe they just don’t care.

I’M SORRY BUT THIS MESS HAS TO STOP!!!!
f**k FOX NEWS!!!!
SVELLA! Now what you said is the most patriotic way it could have been said! I and many others like you feel the same way! I am most surprised they had the intestional fortitude to pring what you said; but they did and kudos to them for doing so! FOX News has never and never will print how UNPATRIOTIC our country is treating us and other so-called miniroties! THAT c**t ALISYN CAMEROTA who wrote this c**p someone should ask here if ever she was the victim of a crime or rape or any of here loved ones if she would praise and support them! Every time I think I have seen the epitome of hatres, racism, ignorance, stupidity and hiprocracy to name but a few; here comes another one to top that! I think when she was born the doctor threw out the baby and kept the afterbirth! I call for a humancott (not boycott) of FOX News for this!
Totally agree, they need to be snatched off the air, period
We love Gabby! She can wear any d**n thing she wants to wear!!!
@ Sevella, I agree with you 500%, first it’s her hair, now her outfit?!?!?! f**k FOX that racist network!!!! She’s representing America, and ya’ll still d*****g her out?!?!?! Now your showing your true colors Fox, the confederate kind. What’s next her teeth?! smdh. First of all, every other gymnast that team wore the same d**n outfit, so if your gonna get on that poor child, get on the rest of the team too!!!! (2) That’s not gabby’s fault, that’s the designer of the outfit, so get on their case, and if the Olympic committee approved of it, it’s all good, and if you got a problem with it take it up with the committee. (3) So her outfit isn’t patriotic enough huh, well I saw a report weeks before on tv that the outfits made for all olympians no matter how patriotic it may look, were all made in “China”!!!! SO TELL ME FOX HOW PATRIOTIC IS THAT s**t?!?!?!?!
Since when has Fox News become a “credible” news source??? I’m just sayin’! Complaining about the USA uniforms??? Really??? News flash…they’re all wearing the uniforms!!! First Jason “Whitless” critizes Serena for her Crip Walking when she won Gold. And now Gabby Douglas is the subject of unfounded gossip at the hands of “responsible journalists”! Don’t listen to the background noise! This young lady is a role model for my daughter and many other young ladies! And so is Serena! Haters got a hate because they have nothing better to do.
I want to apologize to the world! Fox news represents them,(the racists) not the rest of us, they can hire a minority every now and then, can’t change those stripes, i honestly wish they were off the air,

SHE IS AFRICAN-AMERICAN, SHE IS GOLDEN, SHE HAS 10 MILLION IN ENDORSEMENTS. SHE GAVE GOD THE GLORY.
LOVE YOU GOLDEN GABBY…SO PROUD OF YOU!
Fox News power should go off the first 12 hours of everyday.
Bigotsssssssssssss
Why didn’t (f*x) donate uniforms then? They’re one of the mega broadcast networks in the USofA!
FACT: f**k FOX.
Nuff said.
All those who couldn’t think of something more intelligent to write than profanity are no better than Fox News. We all know Fox’s agenda why feed into with more garbage words. Gabby Douglas has more class than Fox and the people who could not find a better way to express themselves. Go Gabbie Go!
Dose this sound better F U
Vernon, that is fun y! Lmao,,
I agree with you, the bloggers played right into Fox hands, they like that, this is the way they get Rating on Radio or Foxnews on Cable Network.
I know how it makes you feel, but don’t fall into Foxnew trap,
take a good look at who is on Radio and Network Cable Tv.
You will laugh out loud.
The sad part about this is they are supposed to report on the new but they seem to spread more rumors maybe it is time blacks boycott Fox news. camerota said that Gabby wasn’t patriotic enough but they are all wearing the same suit so do that mean that the white girls was patriotic even though they had on the same color. If camerota had a problem with the suits that the Team USA was wearing where is her money to buy the uniforms you want them to wear. See camerota your name does not even deserve a capitol letter, you are the kind of racist that wants to pretend that she is for America but actually she is the terrorist undercover giving away the secrets but reporting on the same people she gave the secrets to and turn them in. camerota reporters like you give America a badder name maybe you should go to the war and report on the people you turn on and don’t come back. If Fox news have such a hatred for the blacks in this country then they better get over it because we made this country and we are not going anywhere.
Gabby Douglas, America’s little sweetheart, is being introduced to human depravity. No, innocense does not understand such stupidity! Hope she stays just as she is!
FOX NOISE is a perfect example of how disgusting a media outlet can be.
Seeing that some folks have dropped the “F bomb”, I’ll share my thoughts about FAUX News by reciting a song often heard on the Stephanie Miller show on Current TV, with a singsong melody:
“[Fox News], “you’re a lying sack of c**p
You’re a lying sack of c**p
You’re a lying, scheming, stinking, nasty sack of liquid c**p!”)
All of you folks jumping on “The Hair”, take note.
I dont see why this site even gives Fox news a spotlight. We already know their agenda. On to something more news worthy.
f**k you Fox news and leave Gabby the h**l alone!!! You people are a bunch of a******s..
IN TIME !! FOX NEWS JUST LIKE THE n**i, PROPAGANDA MACHINE WILL BE DEAD SET ON TRYING TO USE THE MEDIA AND IT’S TRICKS BY SENDING US ON THE TRAINS LIKE THEY ONCE ONCE ALMOST GOT STARTED BUT SOME OTHER IDIOT TOOK THAT IDEA AND ACTUALLY PUT IT TO USE ” YEAH ” AMERICA HAD THE IDEA FIRST’ THEN THE n**i’S PICKED UP ON IT !

HELP HELP HELP HELP HELP HELP, THEY KILLING US US AGAIN !! HELP HEL P !!!!!!!!!!!!
Love the comment, because it speaks volumes
People at FOX News!!! I have to apologize for the language of some of my fellow Americans. However, I find it hard to believe that you people would complain about the uniforms that Gabby Douglas wore in the games when other girls wore the same outfits. The uniforms were approved by the USA Olympic Commitee. You guys sat on your couch and talk about things that are really no concern to many of the American people. You have the time to talk about a little princess from the United States that have made an accomplishment that you people could not even imagine yourselves doing. What is your pupose in life? Relating the new is not one of them. Willard Mitt Romney is very proud of you’ll. I am not
I agree that Faux was wrong as usual but can we stop with the F bomb.
NOOOOOOOOO
f**k NO!!
Some will say, “it’s not that bad.” I say, it’s worst than that. Angry white men have lost their edge so they are all on edge.
By no means am I a “follower” of anything or anyone. However, this time I will join the crowd above me and repeat what has been said by the others.
f**k FOX NEWS!!! f**k FOX NEWS!!! f**k FOX NEWS!!!
There. I feel better.
Tell FOX News to go to h e double hockey sticks.
US Womens Springboard Divers suits were made in China with the name of the famonus Chineses Diver Li Ning upeer right hand corner of the suit. Why did they not say something about them and ther Patriotism?
Gabby is actually wearing the MOST patriotic uniform of all her team members:
HER d**n COPPER-COLORED SKIN: Can’t get more patriotic than that!!
From the 1828 Webster Dictionary….
AMER’ICAN, n. A native of America; originally applied to the aboriginals, or copper-colored races, found here by the Europeans; but now applied to the descendants of Europeans born in America.
The name American must always exalt the pride of patriotism.
People please do not listen to these imps.Their jobs are to lampoon
criticize and make fun of what ever is good and decent in the news.
It’s FOX people. I don’t think much of America’s “corporate journalism, but I wouldn’t even further sully the word “news broadcast” by putting the word “FOX” in front of it. It’s owned by Rupert Murdock (to start with). This t**d was recently “spanked” by the British Government for using his Brit publications to intimidate members of the press and elected officials in that country. Only they, and a few self-hating black people would attack this 16 triumph of American will, strength and spirit would miss her achievement yet clearly see her uniform (that she didn’t select) or her hair not being “tight….” Fox News … what a joke they are….
What color did “wonderboy” Michael Phelps have on. Black, not red, white, or blue. Not a word said. I wonder why??
Freakin racist bast$&ds….may they burn in h**l!
FOX STAY IN YOUR LANE!!! WHEN DID The WORLD start looking to you for your FASHION SENSE? I am sure GABBY’S outfits had to be APPROVED! WHY DONT WE SHOW U HOW PATRIOTIC WE ARE AND BOYCOTT YOUR SORRY CHANNEL!!!
Fox News must hate America, or disrespect the flag. The United States Flag Code (Section 8J) states, “No part of the flag should ever be used as a costume or athletic uniform.” Part 8d of the flag code states that “The flag should never be used as wearing apparel, bedding, or drapery.”
Let Gabby have her day in the sun! She has worked hard for years and is reaping the benefits of a great harvest. Maybe if more people worked relentlessly like Gabby they wouldn’t have time to run their mouths about nothing, and they’d really accomplish something worthwhile. Go Gabby go!

Sly fox News is grasping at straws, they couldn’t find any dirt on her (lawd knows they are trying) I’m sure before it’s all said and done sly fox will try to put her through the wringer.
The Fox like creatures behind the scenes over there are truly jealous and resentful of her talents and abilities. They can’t do 1/5 of what Gabby can do on the parallel bars, let alone anything else.
This is a ploy to take the f****e off of her nose. Bit by bit they will attempt to chip away at her confidence. Their whole design is to make a winner a failure. It won’t happen. Gabby is a full blown winner!!!! You go girl, I love your hair you are a black girl. Don’t let them forget.
Fox news is so racist there is nothing that theys say that will surprise me I dont understand why they are on the air I know their are other new channel that is just as racist but fox is on another level……….
Gabby won the Gold! First it was her hair; now her outfit!
She’s a beauty inside & out. Glad she has a strong self-esteem.
.
she’s black, she can’t do anything right for racist people. It is what it is.
Talk to the dudes that got the more “patriotic” uniforms made in China. Satisfied?
Did anyone bother to watch the freakin video before getting their panties in a bunch? I saw maybe two seconds of general commentary where Gabby was mentioned and the rest was discussion on American patriotism in the Olympics overall.
The article, however, dupes everyone into thinking that the conversation was specifically about Gabby. I’m not a fan of Fox News by a long shot, but they’ve done enough bad and created enough distaste amongst black people that we don’t have to resort to fabricating and purposely taking a news clip out of context.
HEY WANT THE a******s AT FOX STOP f*****g AROUND AND GO AHEAD AND SAY IT. CALL THE POTUS A n****r AND GABBY A POARCH MONKEY. NOW YOU KNOW all THOSE c*********g BLONDE BLUE DEVILS WANT TO SOOOOO BAD…….
Let me tell those saltines at Fox news something. America is so great when some whitey represents winning but when blacks win for America all of a sudden this patriotic fervor is suppose to kick in. Your racism is in full display Fox friends and while you sit behind your microphones spouting all this racial rhetoric all the time you know what? We understand that you are children of the Klan, descendents of the White Citizen Councils and the grown children that stood beside your fathers and grandfathers in the pictures showing the lynching and burnings of black men and women. So all you Rebs who sing “O say can you see” while waving the conferacy flag, yes we do see very clearly.

Fox belongs to Ruper Merdock, he pays Rus Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Beck, O’Riley, and fund the teabaggers. The problem is that for centuries Black were called inferior by Caucasians for the fact we were smarter than they were mentally and physically. When we we excel in all things they lies they have told worldwide are brought to light.
Blacks should really think about why it was against the law for us to read or write, this country would have been run by Black long before Barack Obama.
The GOP (KKK in suits) and others will always trask our chamipons we are great people. The next challenge is for Black to rise to their greatness, look at all races wanting to be like us, dress like us , sing like us, and be champions like us.
The c**p they write is to take Black/African Americans focus off the real hate, we did not die during slavery. STOP getting angry be aware of what makes you great as Malcom X, MLK, W.E.B. Dubois, Ida B. Wells, Mary Bethune, and others that left you the seeds of greatness.
Why would anyone, other than a rabid redneck, take any notice of what Fox News says? Many years ago, the BBC aired a programme called “NOT the Nine o’clock news”. It was extremely funny. But it was almost believeable compared to Fox News, which is so far right it’s almost back round to the left. Not to mention parochial “we just heard there was a tsunami last month in Japan, but now we bring you a cutting-edge report from the Charlotte Harvest Festival” . Surely even Fox News can’t take Fox News seriously?
Why don’t everyone just STOP watching Fox News, that is the best way to get our point across. I don’t watch them!
