Story spiraled out of control and he still can't admit he is gay
This is what Outsports is insinuating.
quote:
I’ve heard from sports writers, fans of Outsports, leaders in the gay-sports world, and even old high school friends, in the last six hours all wondering, “Is Te’o going to be the first openly gay NFL player?” Read for yourself and come to your own conclusion.
I personally don’t know. But it seems to be the question everyone is asking. If he is, I hope he finds strength and acceptance; The vast majority of his friends, teammates and fans will support him whole-heartedly. If he’s not, I hope he can answer some questions, because people want to know why on earth he would concoct this totally fabricated story — including eight-hour phone calls — if they never happened.
I can certainly understand why people think this might be pointing to his sexual orientation. There has never been a publicly out NFL player. There has never been a publicly out Div. 1 football player. But we know they’re out there. And if they were out there and wanted to hide their sexual orientation — or a relationship with another man — a fictitious girlfriend is a good way to do it. The fantastic story about car accidents and death by leukemia would just be showing off that stereotypical gay flair for the dramatic.
The whole think reminds me of our own little Outsports hoax a few years ago: A hockey player named Mikey. I’m not the only one reminded of it, as famous Outsporter Joe In Philly tweeted us the same thing. That also involved an elaborate internet scheme to deceive people of an identity. It hurt a heck of a lot of people, too.
Either way, for Te’o, this will all work out in the end. It may be hard coming to terms with the truth, but it will all be just fine and he’ll proudly take the field in an NFL uniform in August. I promise.

Rome seems to repeating verbatim whats been posted on this board. Very weird
i'm not going to claim he's reading td, but people don't realize that this is a major sports site
when CFB guys do LSU games they read the frick out of td. i don't think Rome would be reading it, but who knows?

Right. T'eo is weird, but so many people on here are wrong about some key details. This shite takes on a life of its own.

right. he said very clearly they never met her and were looking forward to meeting her at some game (forget which one) because he figured it was time to meet her since she may end up his daughter in law.
i mean it was pretty cut and dry. not sure how that is getting confused.

But he did imply that Manti met her in Hawaii, while never outright saying it.

This thread is probably honestly one of the better ones out there. Reddit might have a good one, but I just hate the way their threads flow.

I wonder how many media members will helicopter there?

td and the SECrant are the #1 regional CFB message boards

Exactly. The AD already got into the semantics excuse of the word met last night in the press conference.
Which was a knee jerk reaction to the publicity the story has got in the last 24 hours. He should have waited because I have a feeling the real story contradicts the AD's statements which will make him look like an idiot for going public about something he never really truthfully looked into.
I still think Manti Te'o is gay when its all said and done. He and Renaiah Tuiasosopo wanted to be lovers and communicate in public so they made a fake persona to cover that fact but they both knew who it was really and it gave them the opportunity to declare their admiration for one another without worrying about the homosexual side in public. To support that it was a girl so as to avoid homosexual suspicion all the other stuff came into the picture (sister, pictures, visiting blah blah), then Manti finally said okay Renaiah this has to stop because I'm getting too much attention so we have to get rid of this person, and in getting rid of the person it backfired and got them even more attention so they had to start covering their arse by making up all these little "anecdotal" details. Maybe?
