The Manti Te'o girlfriend hoax, in 30 posts

In the 2013 issue on CNN: http://www.cnn.com/2013/01/17/tech/social‐media/manti‐teo‐scandal‐tweets/index.html

As of January 16, 2013 there was a serious rumor about Manti Te’o and the alleged dead girlfriend. It was reported that the defensive end for Norte Dame was a victim of a hoax. Then later on they figured out that he was involved. Supposedly the star received a phone call from a relative saying his girlfriend had from leukemia. There was no question among other whether it was true or not. We all just assumed it was true and just a great lost for him.

The hoax was spread by many social networks, blogs and the news. Common since would have been to tell everyone that it was a lie but Te’o didn’t deny the situation which now has back fired to the extreme. Many of his players on his college team admitted that Manti is an attention lover and would do anything for publicity. This would really seem to be harsh if it wasn’t true.

Now that the news has reported him as a liar it really affects his draft choice in the NFL. Many NFL team are most likely not won’t to work with people who lie. It’s not a good look. Maybe Teo should have thought about his decisions. Obviously Manti Teo was and is wrong for what he did. It will definitely hurt him in the future. The internet can do harmful things, but Teo will pay the price.
