Despicable NY Times Rips US Olympic Hurdler

It may seem like a bit of an attack, but let me ask this. Doesn't it seem to be questioning her consistency since she claims on the one hand to be both pious and virginal and on the other is allowing herself to be sexualized in print? I think it's a fair point. They are questioning her bona fides as a religious woman who has publicly discussed her own chastity. Should we not expect more modesty from her than say, Jenna Jameson, who is not a virgin.

The part about not achieving Olympic success is exactly the type of comment other athletes who exploit their own good looks and then fall short deal with. I don't see how this rises to the level of hatefulness.

Did she ever express that her virginal status was a byproduct of her religious beliefs?

I didn't know that if it's true.
