Tim Tebow and American hurdling star Lolo Jones share two things in
common: They're saving their virginity until marriage and they get made
fun of incessantly for that decision.
Jones, the 29-year-old world indoor champion and Olympic medal hopeful, recently told HBO's "Real Sports" that she was still a virgin.
Once that interview aired, she drew immediate comparisons to America's
most famous sexual holdout, Timothy Richard Tebow. That similarity
wasn't lost on Tebow's New York Jets teammates.
According to Kevin Armstrong of the New York Daily News, Tebow was serenaded with chants of "Lolo! Lolo!" when he entered the locker room following Thursday's OTAs and it wasn't because he's good at hurdling and sort of looks like Rashida Jones.
Those chants don't seem right to me. If Tebow gets "Lolo!" chants, it's only fair that Antonio Cromartie enter to the calls of "Duggar!"
Jones told Mary Carillo that keeping her virginity is harder than
training for the Olympics. Sometimes, men will try to entice her into
the bedroom by claiming sex makes you run faster. As I wrote on a Fourth-Place Medal post earlier this week, that'd certainly explain Cromartie's speediness.
