It's closer to 2% than 75%.

when you say follow sports...can you clarify that?
Either watch ESPN, read the sports section of the paper, or watch at least 1 hour of olympic coverage. If you have done at least one of those things in the last 2 years. you know who she is.

He is a downright liar. They talked about her more than anyone. Skip was adament about her dating Tebow. Skip even tried to set them up on a date

I've done all those things. I've probably seen her on tv. She doesn't register to me, because she didn't do anything significant.

I would say 75% of Americans know her or would recognize her, and 100% of sports fans know her


Absolutely not.

75% is probably the percentage of Americans who have heard of Kobe Bryant. Not Lolo Jones.

I will agree that my brother lies from time to time, but he would have no reason to lie about something so petty.

i think you're probably right. i'd say maybe 10% of the pop knows who she is and that might be generous.

If she's not an athlete in a sport he cares about, then it's conceivable that he wouldn't remember her by name

You would be in terrible danger. Here is why, almost all men will know her from being the main topic on ESPN for weeks. New York will know her because they did a negative piece on her in The Post which blew up, and the kicker, she has been on Oprah THREE times which means women know her.


Hilarious. I don't know if 75% of the country knows who Barack Obama is. You realize all men don't watch sports and all New Yorker's daily lives don't hinge on the story of the day in the NY Post, right?

This is the big reason. LOTS of men don't watch sports at all.

Of the ones that do watch sports, not all of them watch ESPN. They watch the games, and that's it.

ETA: I mean their other programming like Sportscenter and First Take, etc.

I dont really care if people like Lolo, i think she is a bit of an attention whore myself, but you cant claim to keep up with sports and not know who she is. It is impossible
