http://deadspin.com/5976517/manti-teos-dead-girlfriend-the-most-heartbreaking-and-inspirational-story-of-the-college-football-season-is-a-hoax I'm not sure what to think after reading that. In addition to shrinking in the National Championship game, Te'o is apparently a attention whore as well. |

It's possible that this Te'o really did think she was a real girl and was tricked into falling for an online account. There are plenty of stories about dudes who fall in love with girls online only to realize they were someone completely different which could have happened here. If he engaged in a long distance relationship without ever meeting her then the person running the online account could have easily made up the whole car accident/leukemia thing and actually sent him letters and then notified him of "her death" from a different account to end ties. As for the whole "he met her at Stanford, she flew to Hawaii all the time" stuff, those were obviously lies but I think it was so Teo didn't get national attention for dating a girl he had never met in an online relationship. A lot of guys don't want to admit that they met their girlfriend online, and even more so, don't want to admit they've never met her. I think, honestly, Teo assumed she was a real girl, and that they loved each other. I honestly believe that he probably thought she had died and I don't think he knew any of this or did it for attention. It's fucked up either way, but I trust Teo on this one. |

To add to my whole "dating online and them ending up not being who they say, happens all the time" thing, there's even a whole show on MTV about it. |

The whole thing with this Tuiasasopa guy or however you spell it is the only thing that makes me think he knew all along. |

I love Notre Dame football. I'm currently a high school linebacker and found Te'o to be an incredible inspiration. With the possibility of him being a part of this hoax, I'm devastated. Te'o was an unbelievable player and did unreal things this year. But, this story is embarrasing for football players, Manti Te'o, and Notre Dame. I really like what Tyler said. It gives me a positive side on this story. I hope Manti isn't a fraud image of this amazing character he was built up to be. On another note, my dad also knew this Mormon male. My dad was a good friend of his and he told me that a certain type of Mormon relationship is to not know the other person until you're day of marriage. It could have been that Te'o was attempting this same type of relationship due to his Mormon background. |
