re: #22 Mostly sane, most of the time.

They did attack her hair. She responded with, more or less, “Whatever. I have a gold medal.”

Actually she said she had just jelled her hair and put it back to get it out of the way. LIKE EVERY OTHER GYMNAST.

No idea what the begrudgers wanted. Some of them said she had a responsibility to have different hair, as a black woman athlete. I envisioned elaborate beaded braids, with which she could blind herself whipping around the uneven bars.
