Cynique Posted August 5, 2012 Report Share Posted August 5, 2012 I find this info to be an interesting tid-bit because I am always fascinated with the idea of looking at things in a different way! Thrilled with Gabby's "flying squirrel" nickname? Not so much. The media always finds a way to compare black athletes to animals. Nuts to them! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troy Posted August 5, 2012 Report Share Posted August 5, 2012 First name unscrambled "Baby G" The media did not make up Gabby's name. Indeed I read somewhere, early on that she liked the name. If you saw her on uneven parallel bars the name fits I saw her compete earlier in the year -- amazing. Indeed all the women were. Now if they called her the "flying monkey" I would have an issue with that -- whether she liked the name or not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cynique Posted August 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2012 LOL. Well, OK. I went out and looked at some of the squirrels scrambling around my neighborhood, and they weren't very good in their dismounts and many of them had gray fur but - - if Gabby likes it, I luv it. I'm also lovin that "Baby G" thing. I'm just hoping the black stallions on the USA relay track team don't drop the damned baton this year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
