Olympic Hurdler Laura Jones = Anna Kournikova

LOL at Oattroll. If you aren't the number 1 person in the world at something, you don't deserve to get paid. Tell that to the #50 ranked golfer, #86 tennis player, .500 NFL football team members, and #24 skateboarder while looking at their long lists of endorsements and sponsorships.

Some people just don't understand capitalism and the free market.

Dude, I am a Christian, and I lost my virginity to my wife at age 25. I reveal that last fact, knowing I have a heap of message board ball-busting coming my way, because I am one of the people that Ms. Jones claims to be, and I ain't buying it.

It has nothing to do with her (debatable) attractiveness, not her (modest) success, but rather the way she is manipulating people with her public image.

Honest question then:

If you waited until marriage and age 25 (for which I give you no crap...I find it admirable), why are you so unwilling to believe the same of Lolo?

You certainly have the right to your opinion. I'm just curious why.

Your question is a great question, and I have spent a ton of time that I should be working trying to come up with an response.

Perhaps I have been a bit too hard on Lolo. It is not that I don't believe she is a virgin (I could care less if she is or isn't), my problem with her is that she made such a big deal about it. No one coaxed the information out of her, she offered it on her own.

However, perhaps she thinks, and perhaps I am starting to agree with her, that offering that little tidbit can help people. I volunteer to mentor teens at church, some of whom I know are sexually active, and I think a role model like Ms. Jones could be helpful as an example. Using myself as an example doesn't really work, since I am such an ugly, jealous, loser, no one takes me seriously ;)

That being said, I am still somewhat resentful about how she used that revelation, no matter how helpful it may be to others, to cash in. Call me a cynic if you have to, but your faith and sexuality are things that shouldn't be exploited to get on TV.
 
OK she is attractive but nowhere near Anna K. She is using sex to sell her image. There is the fact that she brings up her sexuality and poses nude. Her name is Laura or Lori (whatever) instead she goes by Lolo short for... Lolita. This is a famous movie about an adult male sleeping with a teenager... forbidden fruit anyone. She is getting paid and using Christianity and sex to do it! Smart move appeal to most men by posing nude while making her acceptable to the religous types by SAYING she is virgin. I could see where some religous people mightfeel taken advantage of though.
It will not matter soon. She needs to take advantage of this because in a month she will be footnote again or that girl who tripped in 2008.

Hasn't this been her nickname since she was a child? I have a hard time believing this connection. Any support for this claim?

No just an observation. I had never heard of her before this thread. Either way it is a nickname you can choose to carry in adulthood or not. It may not have any correlation.

Hey, no name calling here. That was an honest, straight forward and reflective answer. I appreciate it.

Like I said, all are entitled to their opinion (despite the rantings of a few self-appointed PC police on this board). Thanks for an up front answer.

It was her mom's pet name for her as a baby, and she kept it as it differentiated her from her mom (same name - Lori) when she got older and people would call and stuff.

And it takes a very special person with very special "interests" to hear the name Lolo and immediately "correlate" it with pedophilia. You might be more at home on the PSU threads, Babs.

Appreciated. I look back now and realize how bitter I sounded yesterday, and I think I focused too much on the negative.

People keep comparing her to Tebow, but I think that's a bad comparison. Tebow as super-christian virgin came out after he had become famous and successful as a football player (while he has modest success in pro football, people seemingly forget he was one of the greatest CFB players of all time). Ms. Jones became famous BECAUSE she came out as a super-christian virgin.

USA went 2,3,4 in the same order they finished at the trials. All proved they belong, but Gold has been tough to achieve for the US on the track this Olympics.

She was the best person in the world at what she does for a period of years, and she has a pretty good chance to medal at the olympics. Her success isn't modest unless you only measure success by Olympic gold.

She's the female Tebow. People hate her because she's a Christian virgin, and she gets media attention for it.

As for her doing adverts, your relevent time as a premier athlete is incredibly short. You have to cash in when you get a chance.

Bryce Has it Nailed. The Secular Lefty media doesn't want a Conservative message ringing so true and positive to the lemmings in their audience. :eek:

The media came to Lolo for a story. She didn't shop it around to get on tv. She is an open person by all accounts and her virginity was mentioned by her on Twitter then the media took out and approached her camp for the story. If you think that was strategic then you also must think her talking about taking a dump on Twitter is also an attempt to get on tv?

Her virginity is a story because America made it one. Don't hate on her because of that. I respect you thinking she isn't a story and that other runners are more deserving of a story but hate in the media and those consuming it for that, not Lolo.
