I started reading a new book this morning and ran into a stat I found surprising.  It reads,

“One might hope that the strongest predictor of teenage virginity would be church involvement – but it is not.  A recent study of teenage girls show that the strongest predictor is actually participating in team sports.  The girl who plays lacrosse or soccer is more likely to remain chaste than the girl who attends church and youth group.  Apparently sporting leagues are doing something right, and the church is (so to speak) dropping the ball.

Interesting, huh?  Could that be because kids are too busy in sports?  Could it be that the community is great enough that the emotional need is not as great?  Another reason?  What is your guess?
