It sucks because now he always gunna be remembered for this, and nothing he does in football

[losatta123]

Why, why, Manti?!

[Cory Baker]

The ONLY reason why I am glad this unfortunate situation happened is because it happens to A LOT of people out there. This is an extreme example, to a high-profile person, but online deception is rampant, and is so common in a dating situation. How many people do you know have been given a different picture of somebody you're talking to? ALL of us should only exchange maybe one or two emails with someone new before we meet with them personally, or Skype with them if they're out of town. right?

[Cris Kosravian]

Manti Te'o , I Christ Khosravian voluntarily will defeat these lies, deceptions and cons Falsely Illegally applied against Manti Te'o, Notre Dame, and your family.

I Christ Khosravian Name Myself ONE of MANY legal representatives for Notre Dame, Brian Kelly, AND MAINLY Manti' Teo.

Any Message sent in defense from Manti' Teo is necessary for order to be restored in the United States.

Thanks for donations , it will drastically help my life, im a bipolar mental patient, Christ Khosravian

[apope06]

Yes, but I prefer to actually change society through mobilization. I think it'd be better if you became a comedian.

[TerrencePhillip66]

Yeah, it was pretty messed up response to a pretty messed up situation. So I declare it a draw.

[Rolltide313]

The man got Catfished, he did nothing wrong. He's a victim just like other people who fall in love with fake profiles online. Let him move on with his football career. Why is this still news.

[flevosap666]

So Katie thinks the moral of the story is be careful of who you're talking with online. Maybe it's the media making a big fuss out of this is what is wrong about the whole story. IUronic that katie is asked to say what is wrong with this story.

I really feel for this guy, christ, imagine being in such a situation

[duke lexinn]
