Leave Gabby Douglas Alone https://thinkprogress.org/gabby-douglas-rio-olympics-bullying-6e0f2642cccf#.9cmc5sug1 Just like the condemnation Douglas received in London, this round of attacks is rife with thinly-veiled racism and sexism. Only this time, she doesn’t have the individual gold to help deflect them. Of course, Douglas hasn’t done anything to deserve this treatment. She has quite literally changed the face of the sport. She trailblazed a path for Biles and all African American gymnasts who will come after her. She helped the United States win back-to-back team gold medals in the Olympics for the first time in history.
