No one wants to say it out loud because they are trying to be politically correct, but the fact of the matter is there are legitimate reasons to suggest that one of the plausible scenarios in the Manti Te’o saga is that he masterminded this entire thing to hide the fact that he is gay.
The are three main pieces of evidence why you could easily come to that conclusion.
1- He knows the mastermind of the alleged hoax Ronaiah Tuiasosopo personally.
2- The outlandishness of the story (how they met, car accident, coma, talking for hours, deathbed letters, miraculous recovery, sudden death and etc etc).
3- He continued to talk about her even after he told Notre Dame she was a fake and he knew she was alive.
Te’o is a Mormon going to a Catholic school, it is quite possible he thought this was the best way to cover up his sexual preference and it just spiraled out of control.
It isn’t the only scenario, but it is one of the most plausible scenarios. NFL teams aren’t stupid, they will investigate and they are starting to come to a lot of the same conclusions.
Theory about why Manti did what he did has reached NFL team circles and if true absolutely explains his actions.

If this theory is true, Manti would end up being one of the most important stories in history.

I could care less if Manti Te’o is gay or not. If he can tackle Adrian Peterson, he will play in the NFL, doesn’t matter if he is gay or straight. What I do care about is if he was lying about cancer stricken in a coma dead girlfriend to protect his image.
Anyone who would do that is a little messed up in the head.
My suggestion is whatever the truth is come clean, because if you lie again you aren’t going to get the benefit of the doubt.
