Sigh ... this is a thing now, people.

Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson was part of a recent public Q&A session at The Rock Church with pastor Miles McPherson, a man who spent four seasons as a defensive back for the Chargers. The topic of Wilson's personal life came up — specifically, his girlfriend Ciara, who happens to be a critically acclaimed recording artist.

Wilson, a man of strong faith, told McPherson a story about telling a friend that Ciara was the girl he wanted to be with before he ever met her.

The discussion about his personal life continued with Wilson explaining how he and Ciara plan to practice abstinence until they're married. (Discussion begins around the 23:15 mark)

The way he says it is even more interesting than the substance of it. "God told me to lead her," implying that he is somehow doing a good deed by taking her on down the path of abstinence.

Aaron Rodgers' girlfriend Olivia Munn has gone on record stating the couple won't have sex on game days, while Giants teammates attribute cornerback Prince Amukamara's breakout season to having more sex.

So yeah, there's that.

Football season really can't get here soon enough.

Yes, because you can fall in love with someone you haven't met yet. This guy sounds a little off kilter.

"He is a flaming hypocrite."

No wonder we conservatives lose every battle. You should hear the local media, mocking him for suggesting that they defer sex until marriage. And there's a radio guy in Chicago, suggesting he's gay. Wake up!!!!! This is an assault on Christianity and Christian values. This is NOT about Russell Wilson.
