The Hoax

     College football fan know the story of Notre Dame's all-star linebacker Manti T'eo; he as a heisman runner-up, his background story had helped push his team to an undefeated season. According to T'eo his girlfriend,Lennay Kekua, had died of cancer September 12. Hearing the story of a fellow teammate losing his significant other should be enough to motivate any great player grind it out.
      T"eo was later interviewed by ABC's Katie Couric."You stuck to the script. And you knew that something was amiss, Manti," Couric said. "Katie, put yourself in my situation. I, my whole world told me that she died on Sept. 12. Everybody knew that. This girl, who I committed myself to, died on Sept. 12," replied Te'o.
    Now, with all that aside, if T'eo found out his so called "girlfriend" was never dead on December 6,yet on December 8 he again publicy mentioned his "dead girlfriend". Why would T'eo knowingly continue with this travesty? What it to propel his campaign to win the heisman trophy? Or did he simply enjoy all the attention?
    Although T"eo was also duped, he still went on with the story after he found out the truth. The emotions that had to engulp him when he learned the truth. For his teammates to discover that their inspiration had come under false pretenses, has to be devastating. And what about the coachin staff, the cousellors, the guidance, the claerhead; why they were also apart of the scheme. What a...a HOAX!
