Recent reports question the
relationship of a Notre Dame football player. The girlfriend of linebacker Manti
Te'o is said to be a hoax, leaving people wondering what is the real truth.
FOX54 spent the day at Georgia Regents
University asking students their opinion.
"I find it hard to believe,"
said GRU student Patrick Joiner.
"It's sounding more and more
like scam to me," said GRU student Manihil Jackson.
"I think the whole thing is
a scam, I think he was so popular. I'm sure he is very appealing to other
females," said GRU student Rod Hill.
Deadspin.com first broke the
story revealing the player's girlfriend may never have existed.
"For one, when they said she
had died of leukemia, he never went to the funeral. I find it very hard to believe
you can love someone that passionately and never go their funeral," said
Joiner.
There is also the question of
whether Te'o believed her to be real but was scammed on-line by someone
pretending to be his girlfriend.
However, even on-line dating
raises a red flag especially for those who can relate to the life of a football
player.
"I know as a football
player, there is no shortage of people who would like to date you so why would
you need to go online?" said Joiner.
Was he doped or was it a hoax? What
do you think?
Weigh in on Facebook or Twitter,
we want to hear from you.
