Did anyone catch the Netflix documentary on Manti Te’o? One big take on the story at the time was that it was a cover-up to hide Manti Te’o’s homosexuality (for which there is no evidence). Can’t believe Manti Te’o was asked in an interview by Katie Couric if he’s really gay and trying to hide it?

And also the sociopath who was catfishing him now identifies as a trans woman and fa’afafine. Because of course they do. So many red flags.

I watched that, and really wanted to slap the shit out of that selfish fuck who catfished him. He had absolutely no regard for Manti's life, nor how he fucked up Manti's chances in the draft. Just zero remorse - sociopath indeed.

I do scoff at so-called "online romances" like the one shown, in which the parties involved never even meet (that's not a real romance, not even freaking close); but I still felt for Manti. Sure he was naive as hell, but I wish he could sue that scumbag, or something.
