Oh, so it was an independent effort? Alright, I was thinking the school had something to do with it. I stand corrected and thanks for that article. I remember this story but that article didn't have as much. Notre Dame did associate with it by interviewing him and putting it on their Notre Dame Official youtube page. The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society is a real charity though. sports.yahoo.com/news/fundraiser-shell-shocked-teo-girlfriend-204631078--ncaaf.html

The new girl seems like a good set-up for a PG-13 Teen/Young Adult Romance movie plot resolution.
He was a man in love with a girl, but she didn't want to be hounded. She didn't want to be "The star's girl." She wanted to be his, but not the world's. So when someone realized he was in love...he lied....when they fought, he lied again...when they worked things out...the trouble began. And it grew...and grew...and now, he has to keep it up while struggling to keep the girl he loves in the shadows in order for her to remain in his heart. But, when things come crashing down, can he save not only his love, but his entire future?

No, I don't think Manti Te'o believes men don't exist. It was a joke, not unlike how any argument Te'o makes that claims he wasn't in on this from day one is a joke. Also, Manti Te'o is going to get eaten alive at the combine. There were organizations who asked Dez Bryant about his mother being a prostitute. Nothing is off limits. These people are going to annihilate Te'o. He's going to do so much backtracking and make up so much more bullcrap that he might claim that he is Tuiasosopo, Lennay Kekua, the Loch Ness Monster and the Lindbergh baby. I will fully support Te'o and his nonsense if he handles the situation like this

This still makes absolutely no sense at all.
And thus, shouldn't be some sort of gigantic earth-shattering news story that people seem to be stopping the world for.
Unless this Ronaiah guy was blackmailing Te'o (who seems to be not-too-bright) for something. But even then, it just seems like the media is wasting everyone's time until something about that actually definitively comes out.

I don't really get the "he's gay" accusations. I mean, didn't some people say they thought his story was strange because they knew he'd been sleeping with other women?

Yeah, the gay theory made sense at first but there was that article talking about the girl he was with right after, and mentions of other girls in another article. It doesn't make sense for him to fake a girlfriend to be a closeted gay only to be banging other girls.

The gay theory made the most sense before it came out that he was sleeping around on his fake girlfriend. Now I just think he is remarkably dumb.

At the same time, if he isn't, how exactly is he supposed to answer that, WITHOUT someone somewhere being able to interpret it as something bigoted?

I would say a simple "no" would've sufficed. But his answer made it sound like "wha-, me gay? No, of course not... totally not gay, jeez".
I'm not saying his answer sounded bigoted, but it did sound a little "c'mon man, of course not..."
That's of course just my opinion, I've no clue to the dude's orientation.

I'm still closeted (to some extent) but before I accepted being bisexual I would have similar hostilities. It stems from upbring and family pressure. I had tons of it growing up as my family is very conservative socially.

I don't think there was anything wrong with his answer. It's a very personal question and when you ask personal questions out of the blue, people's natural reaction is to get defensive about it. I had the same thing happen to me, and I was defensive about it too. I wouldn't read into it.

I think if anything, it sounded closer to a closeted gay guy trying to "sound" straight than a bigoted straight guy.

He was a gay man in love with the idea that he should appear to be in love with a girl, but she didn't want to be hounded. She didn't want to be "The star's girl" especially with no benefits. She wanted to be his in social circles, but not the world's circle. So when someone realized he was in the position to profess love...he lied....when they fought, he lied again...when they worked things out...the trouble began. And it grew...and grew...and now, he has to keep it up while struggling to keep the girl he fake loves in the shadows in order for her to remain in his friendzone. But, when things come crashing down, can he save not only his false love, but his entire future?

I had the same thing happen to me, and I was defensive about it too. I wouldn't read into it. agreed. that's interpretation for you. no matter what answer he gave, someone would've interpreted it as him somehow being "closeted". as someone whose had people call me gay before when I'm not, I don't think his answer was unreasonable at all. it's a pretty serious accusation and it's always a "damned if you do" thing because some idiots still have the grade-school notion that anyone who doesn't like being accused of being gay "must be in the closet".
