    Gabby Douglas Hate - (Hopefully) An End

    Understood! It just bothers me when people turn options into requirements. Lord knows we have enough of those to deal with already. ;)

    Gabby Douglas Hate - (Hopefully) An End

    The issue is MAY. Terry has repeatedly made it out to be some kind of requirement or affront if it's not done. If it were, every sailor I see at the base movie theater each week is committing a crime. I dare someone to call them unpatriotic. That's just made up BS that people use to make...

    Gabby Douglas Hate - (Hopefully) An End

    NO IT IS NOT!!! US Military personnel stand at attention with hands at their sides when not in uniform, even on base. In uniform, they salute only when covered in the Navy! Sorry, I trust my AD officer spouse over an Internet expert any day.

    Women's Team Finals

    You're right, of course. It is so freaking hard to stay mum when folks who have no direct connection to the US military spout untruths tho!! *woosa* I, for one, am looking forward to seeing all of the ladies impress the world on Thursday. I cannot fathom the hard work they've put in lo these...

    Women's Team Finals

    You're better than me b/c it makes me spitting mad. The spite was directed not just at her, but at her mother, too. It's incredibly tacky and uncalled for. In my 20 years as a MILspouse, the families I see day-in and day-out have a much deeper understanding of patriotism and service and...

    Women's Team Finals

    Honestly, this is BS. My DH is in the service and half the MILkids I know (of which she is one) don't do hand over heart. Americans need to get off the symbolic patriotism BS and care about what really matters. Standing silently or at attention is perfectly appropriate. Love how we just haaaave...

    Wow, they weren't kidding about the 'bling' arms race...

    I really liked the Canadian Leo too. I liked the Japanese color pattern but didn't understand the crystal placement. The crystals were distracting, not an enhancement.

    I'm overseas and have to use a VPN app. The best part is that I can pick from BBC, CBC or NBC.

    Also, is it typical for the Russians to be wearing a blinged out GK Leo? It's cute tho, I like it.

    The Chinese gymnasts are totally bedazzled. I haven't seen that from them before.

    BREAKING: All Russian athletes may be banned from the Rio Games

    True, but didn't they already establish a process by which clean athletes (those who can show they have been rigorously tested by outside labs) can be cleared to compete? They just can't compete under the national flag, right? Or do the athletes have to openly disavow their nation's testing...

    BREAKING: All Russian athletes may be banned from the Rio Games

    On the Today show, they just reported that cheating was found in 30 different sports. I think that qualifies as widespread and helps explain the drastic action some are calling for. A final decision is expected later today.

    BREAKING: All Russian athletes may be banned from the Rio Games

    It makes me sad but I understand it. I'm sure there are certain sports with systemic issues but have a hard time believing that gym is one of them. I guess the global federations feel the need to take a stand not just to protect their own athletes chance at success but the very idea of a level...

    She has a lot of life ahead and, hopefully, will have a wonderful experience in Oklahoma.

    They are photoshopped into one image. The girls appear to have been photographed separately. The shading is off.

    Ppl don't even stand w/hand over heart at the base movie theater so...yeah... that's not unusual. Not a Gabby thing at all.
