    Russell Wilson

    NFL star Russell Wilson has made some headlines recently because he told the media that God told him to abstain from sex before marriage (he is dating R&B singer Ciara, who is absolutely beautiful, and who is on board with Wilson's plan). Like with Tim Tebow, the media has not hesitated to jump on mockingly (see this example: http://www.eonline.com/news/673535/r...sex-with-ciara )

    Some people think Wilson is bragging about being pious. I don't see it that way. I see him as trying to set a positive example, and by taking things public, he is asking for more accountability. I'm not a big football fan but I'm pulling for him.

    My nephew went to school with Russell. He said he was kind of an arrogant kid, but he was never a womanizer.

      Didn't he recently admit that he was a bully growing up?

        Yeah. He hung with the jocks. My nephew was a baseball player so they ran with the same crowds. And they acted like typical high school jocks in that regard.

          Piety as bragging - in this day and age? What are the critics on?
