I love how, in typical woke fashion, Netflix ends up glorifying the absolute sociopath that ruined Manti T’eo’s life

[@TylerEubank]

Yup. Fuckin ridiculous

[@leemarie7724]

What was truly shocking was the lack of remorse for screwing up someone else's life! Now we all understand how Teo was fooled

[@showcrime7332]

Wdym woke? They also uplift the deadspin guys as some cyber geniuses which is pathetic.

[@cronaon317]

Manti ruined his own life. USC vs ND. He choose ND out of pride, to be the Manti instead of bring another great LB at USC. His lack of leadership and perseverance drop him to the second round. as for that piece of shit Naya fuck him may he rott too

[@brett2015]

@@showcrime7332 I could give a shit about Deadspin. Netflix showcased that psycho’s transition and let her/xer/ it play the victim.

[@riat8006]

Manti was absolutely gutted by the media at the time. They laughed at him. They mocked him. The media actually BLAMED him. My friend is an assistant athletic director at ND, and Te’o was said to be the sweetest guy. What a shame.

[@brianb6689]

A genuine narcissistic sociopath derailed a generational linebacker. Looking back on it now getting Manti Te'o side of the story you can really feel for him.

[@seminoldschool7032]

The thing I learned about Monti via this series is that he is a GENUINELY FANTASTIC HUMAN BEING. I’m embarrassed to admit that I piled on with everyone else back in the day. I never even considered the possibility that an elite-level athlete might just be a pure, good, wholesome, overly trusting soul. F#ck me for being a piece of sh*t…and thank Manti for being such a remarkable person.

[@jeffsamuels2539]

You speak for a lot of people.

[@user-ky6nh1cb8y]

Ronaiah still works as an operation manager at the Lowe's in Federal Way, WA. He has been recently accused by another lowes employee of sexual harrassment & assault. Lowes has not taken any actions to protect this employee. The "investigation" has been ongoing for over a month at this point.

[@ND-9]

After I watch the doc, I had to find him on IG. I owed him a huge apology. So I did. I was like most. No way you’re in love like that with someone you’ve never met. The way the media dragged him day after day. I mean every media outlet was letting him have it. Where are the flood of apologies from them …day after day. He’s a much better man than I am☘️

[@chicagohh]

I yelled more at the TV while watching this than anything else in my life. I had to take breaks I was so upset. I am sorry Manti - I was one of the people laughing at you years ago. I was so wrong. The media.... disgusting.

[@tysportstv]

I remember people calling him gay him dropping out the first round costing him about 15 mil and the media killed his reputation

[@Mantus77]

They did. BIG TIME! Didn’t even care to listen to his story.

[@jeffsamuels2539]

Yeah crazy.

[@rynocaliendo9569]

I would've sued that guy for that

[@bigdawganthonyjarzemkoski7722]

Not only disgusting but as a proud American Samoan man, our people are not supposed to act this way. Our culture is of respect and values. So if this person is Polynesian, your card has been revoked.

[@arasihamilton7545]

Sole…it was the faifeau’s son who catfished Manti 🤦🏽‍♀️

[@lesihei6869]

Wow. This is probably the best take away and segment on the Manti Te'o documentary I've watched. Your guys words and feedback was spoken with such depth and sincerity. Especially the guy in the end! You brought out great points of how Manti could easily have fell for this catfisher. Being an athlete and all, and removed from any culture safety. And then you guys ending this video with the end clip of Manti's wishes toward Ronaiah, made it more impactful. I think this is the first time someone has finally shared the full end clip. Usually they end it before Manti's wishes. Thank you three for sharing your thoughts! I appreciated your video! You've gained a new fan here!

[@CarAmeL624]

The crazy part is that his parents did know and spoke with the person. He was using different voices to disguise and have different characters so the whole family believed it because they're hearing different people from this fake family ....crazy. Have so much sympathy for this guy he really does deserve an apology

[@nesquik8214]

Don't forget that he made his baby sister say that she was missing Leenay... this b!tch's crazy af

[@chinnycabute5456]

Im from the Philippines and I don't know Manti...it was the first time I know him through the documentary. I cried watching the docu, my high respect with Manti. He was raised well by his parents.

[@g.y.u3649]

There was a disconnect with Ronaiah. Ronaiah is a deranged individual who, even when unfairly given this platform by Netflix, she chooses to still act like a complete self-absorbed “yeah-I-was-wrong-but (insert petty excuse)” sociopath. Even at some point daring to show her disappointment in the fact that Manti released all the creepy voicemails (s)he left him in a perfect female voice, to try and prove for his benefit that the hoax was too elaborate for him to realize this was catfish (nor did the poor guy even know this term existed or that someone would be so deranged to concoct such lies for such a long time. I didn't like the disclaimer at the beginning about Ronaiah being trans as if that excuses everything. The Trans Card is now the new Card Du Jour. Now is that if you SAY you are “trans”, anything and everything is forgivable and completely understandable. That does NOT excuse how (s)he ruined Manti's career, caused him considerable humiliation to the point where he had to seek therapy. And Ronaiah? She walks away, scott free, no regret or shame for her actions. She almost acts like she's the Star of the Show, thanks to Netflix trying to make us feel sorry for her. Trans or not, she is despicable.

[@alb5801]

I agree (s)he is despicable but I didn’t see Netflix as making her a victim. There were two main people involved in this scandal, Manti Teo and Ronaiah so they had to get input from both parties. In a documentary specifically the people involved are telling their side of the story from their point of view so that was Ronaiah’s point of view wherever she was interviewed in the doc. (S)he absolutely gets to tell the story from her perspective as does Manti Teo. It’s was clear to see who was the perpetrator and who was the victim unless you can’t decipher unbiased information presented directly from the source(s).

[@jeffsamuels2539]

@@alb5801 bruh you missed the part where she basically said this whole episode help her figure her “identity” out. Like shitting on someone like that cause you are insecure?! Manti really a gud dude, naive but I can’t say the same for the transgender.

[@manniec9426]

imagine every room you walk into you become the topic of conversation, and that conversation is either about you being a fool, a liar, or a joke.

[@tanyawadley6902]

This was a pure joy to watch and I love your honesty. I'm so proud of Manti Te'o. I'm not into sports and didn't know anything about him/this until today, when I heard the All In LDS Living Podcast with Manti Te'o. It was a beautiful story and made me want to know more (the podcast didn't go into any detail about what happened, so I searched online to learn a little more). I agree 100% that Manti is a great role model, and the kind of person we would want a son to model. Beautiful stories often have a sad or tragic or unfair component, but Te'o shows us that in the end, love doesn't fail (or in biblical terms: "charity never faileth"). Way to go Te'o... and Hurrah for Israel!

[@Mantus77]

Thinking to myself at the end of this doc “Man, it’s so true.. what God says to us..” “He doesn’t give us what we CANT handle..” 🙏🏽

[@448bubble]

Rubbish...

[@patrickcanter6136]

Every media talking head that was around at that time needs to give Te’O an apology. It wasn’t just people online giving Te’O grief, it was guys like these that made some horrible statements at his expense

[@alb5801]

I agree. Stephen A. Smith comes to mind pretty sure he had negative opinions at the time. Has he offered an apology.

[@lynnm.2019]

The man who brought this evil on Te'0 not only lacked remorse, but it remained all about him.

[@markhannig1192]

Sports media - magnified the story without doing their jobs to fact check - blew it too. They have much blame. Reminds me of what happened the past couple of weeks at BYU volleyball.

[@dreroy599]

Just to let y’all know, I found out about y’all when Matt Mascona came on your show. I’ve been watching y’all everyday since. #geauxtigers

@Cajunomics way better content than any ESPN show. Now a days the espn shows don’t even focus on actual sports anymore just the drama and politics.

[@davidadamcone]

Thank you DreRoy. Moscona has become one of my closest friends, and LSU has the most loyal fan base in the nation. Thanks for watching.

[@nolap2763]

I was catfished once on FB. It never got that far as just talking for a few weeks until this other dude that was supposedly dating her got in touch with me asking about her. It was probably her FB friend that she just copy & pasted her profile cause it looked completely legit

[@marcosalvarez4210]

I never knew about this story. Netflix showed me this situation. I love an respect Manti, one of the greatest men who has played football an the strongest human being in life

[@fallibleangel9101]

So wished that somehow, Manti and Diane (the young lady whose photo was used) actually would have ended up together. But the brother is happily married so he’s all good.

[@nutsonice8923]

Just watched it. Yep. I completely agree with policing these catfish people.

[@michaeldiaz7101]

The irony in this is that his parents raising him allowed him to forgive but his parents raising him also made him so naive. Like if they instilled the slightest bit of critical thinking this would have been avoided.

[@448bubble]

Manti's priorities were elsewhere.... he was thinking of providing for his family...all of them... And of making his family proud... No one knew about catfishing then... And why should you... What would have to be wrong with a person to do that to another person?

[@killbillfanaquiahora]

He was just young and he thought he had something with Lennay. This could literally happen to anyone but me jk.

[@GrantAHolcomb]

What blew me away is that some of Te'o's friends and family members actually confirmed to him that they knew Lennay Kekua. Ronaiah is sick, we know that, but the people who played along with it when Manti was even having doubts is just as cruel.

[@ep9691]

they didn't play along. Ronaiah used different voices so everyone believed they were talking to different people

[@t.j.7789]

his cousin never said he met her in person. That is where a misunderstanding came about.

Everyone over the age of 40 “how could you be dating someone you never met.” Everyone under the age of 40 “oh man we’ve all been catfished on social media.” It was just the perfect storm where a lot of people didn’t know about this type of thing yet.

[@jaynas6813]

Bro. Manti was a 20-21 year old. He knew that his parents would think the relationship was sketchy so that’s why he didn’t tell them? Like cmon. How gullible can you be? You make somebody your girlfriend without ever seeing them? How is that possible. Manti should just come out the closet

[@seanmurphy6136]

He asked family members from Hawaii and California and asked them if they met this girl in person and they said yes I’ve met and talked to this person. That certainly didn’t help him

[@drc5378]

I’ve gotta disagree with you. Was he gullible and naïve? Yes! I don’t believe Manti is making any excuses. He’s trying to bring attention to the matter so others don’t go through what he went through … so others are not as gullible as he was. You probably should have watched until the end before you misjudged Manti.

[@dr_pinna543]

Keep in mind he's religious so he's likely not trying to sleep with this person before marriage. Easy to develop an emotional relationship while he's far from home amd busy with school and football. And you're analyzing 2012 norms with 2022 knowledge.

[@theaarongarcia]

He was 18 years old, from a small religious community, and in the Polynesian culture, you always help and believe the best in others.
