Does famed Jewish Olympic gymnast Aly Raisman like football? Unknown. But she likes at least one football player.
In a Yahoo! Sports video posted Aug. 21, Raisman is shown a brief video of Oakland Raiders tight end Colton Underwood congratulating her on her success at the Rio games. He then says, “If you’re ever in San Jose and want to go on a double date with me and Andrew and Shawn, let me know.”
Andrew is Raiders long snapper Andrew East, and Shawn is 2008 Olympic gymnastics gold medalist Shawn Johnson. The two are married, and Johnson is a close friend of Raisman.
“He’s very cute,” Raisman says in the video. “I would go on a date with him.”
Raisman will be in San Jose on Sept. 18 for the Gymnastics Champions Tour.
She and Underwood exchanged tweets after she saw his video:
@Colt3FIVE thanks for the sweet video…. looking forward to meeting you 🙂
