Notre Dame Statement: Manti Te’o

On Dec. 26, Notre Dame coaches were informed by Manti Te’o and his parents that Manti had been the victim of what appears to be a hoax in which someone using the fictitious name Lennay Kekua apparently ingratiated herself with Manti and then conspired with others to lead him to believe she had tragically died of leukemia. The University immediately initiated an investigation to assist Manti and his family in discovering the motive for and nature of this hoax. While the proper authorities will continue to investigate this troubling matter, this appears to be, at a minimum, a sad and very cruel deception to entertain its perpetrators.

How does ND expect people to believe that crap? Either your star LB is mentally deficient, or he's lying. You can't just imagine someone.

It's ingratiated not integrated. It means gained favor with.

Wait....what?

[1908_Cubs]

Wow ND is saying he was a victim of a hoax. Only way that is possible if he never met his girlfriend. How does that work?

Either he fell in love with a girl on the internet he had never met and didn't want to admit that so he lied that he met her.....or this is a hoax, is what it comes down to for me.

Right?


It makes it pretty hard to understand how he was fooled when his whole story falls apart with the revelation that he never met her because she didn’t exist.

The only way it turns out to be a hoax is if they find out the girl he met lied about everything and then the people close to her lied about her death.

Possible, but very unlikely.

So who was he on the phone with for 8 hours a night?



There are wayyyyy to many things that need to be explained here for this to just be a 'hoax'.

The weird thing though is ND is saying that they're the ones who told Manti that it was a hoax. I don't get why they would say that instead of saying he came to them after finding out.

IMO the only way this works if that girl is actually in on the hoax and she lied to Deadspin. That could work.
