#UniversityofAlabama gymnast #AjaSims’ #hiphop-influenced floor routine was praised as #BlackGirlMagaic, but several non-Black fans took offense to the proclamation. Sims, a 21-year-old senior at the university, danced and flipped her way through her exercise against #LouisianaStateUniversity, Friday, Jan. 13, earning a score of 9.90. It was one of the Tide’s highest tallies and though AL.com reported the team didn’t beat LSU, Sims’ routine was still a crowd pleaser as the home audience cheered during her performance. Her effort was posted on Unstripped Voice‘s Facebook page Tuesday, Jan. 24, and captioned, “When you put Hip-Hop in gymnastics. A new day is coming. Near-perfect score of 9.90 for Alabama’s Aja Sims. #NCAA #BlackGirlMagic.” The last hashtag rubbed some viewers the wrong way, leading them to question the necessity of highlighting Sims’ race and culture.
