Manti Te'o allegedly lied about his dead girlfriend
[url=http://deadspin.com/5976517/manti-teos-dead-girlfriend-the-most-heartbreaking-and-inspirational-story-of-the-college-football-season-is-a-hoax?post=56284056]Heres the deadspin story[/url]
So apparently one of the most uplifting stories of the 2012 college football season was a hoax. What you think?

Edited by Big Boy 1229: 1/17/2013 2:48:43 AMGo to Deadspin and read the original article that broke the story, it sounds like he was in on the hoax. We'll know more in the next few days as this becomes an even bigger story, me, i think he was in on it too many sketchy details against him. EDIT: Whoops link for article up top, missed it when I came in here somehow :/

The news going around NFL insiders right now is that he made up this girlfriend because hes gay. Dont know how true it is, but it sure makes sense.
-
Ok I was inclined to believe he was the victim of a sick joke until I realized he had "talked" to her on the phone. Now I'm just confused, because I don't know what he had to gain from being in on this if that's what happened. He had to have known how easy it would be for someone to check Stanford's enrollment records and notice that this girl doesn't exist. Or death records, etc. On the other hand, if he was the victim of an elaborate hoax, who the christ was he talking to on the phone for eight hours a night?

It doesn't really make sense
-
It was more of a hoax. Te'o didn't know he was lying. Calling it now that this was /b/.
-
I find it hard to believe he didn't know about it. Wasn't he claiming to be visiting her and talking to her?...

Another fraud. His football skills are lacking too.
-
Apparently he got "catfished" whatever that means.

Scumbag. It seems as though they're admitting that she never existed, but that Te'o fell victim to some kind of hoax. I call bullshit.
