Star athlete Manti Te'o had an online relationship with a woman name Kekua. Kekua suffered a car accident and supposedly had leukemia in which she died from. However, there are no birth, death, or school records of Kekua. The pictures used as Kekua were stolen from another woman in California. The pictures are kept anonymous to protect her identity and privacy. The woman in charge of this fake account is Teo's friend Ronaiah Tuiasosopo. Teo is denying any involvement with this hoax. This hoax is a reminder of the imposter at Virginia Tech. The man from Virginia Tech lied about his name and age so he could play football. McKelvey's real name was Weaver. Weaver stole a man's identity and social security number so he could go to school and have another shot at football. Weaver was found guilty for misusing a Social Security number, but somehow dodged jail time.

It blows my mind how somebody so gifted can do something so stupid. Te'o was such a gifted football player, he had no reason to make up a girlfriend to bring attention to himself. Te'o is a linebacker and was runner up for the 2012 Hesiman Trophy. Te'o already had so much attention on him because of how well he played. It is understandable to lose your grandmother and be upset about it, but why would he create a fake girlfriend and pretend like she died from cancer. Either Te'o is wanted sympathy from his fans and team players, or he just wants to remain in the spotlight.
