he's saying that he considered her to be his gf, but she was using a fake idenitity? is he trying to say that this girl faked her own death and that for all he knew, she was dead?

I take it that the girl did him wrong in deceiving him about her death. But he then turned that story on its head as if it had been true so that he could spin it into positive publicity.

If I have this right, that's messed up all around.

The University immediately initiated an investigation to assist Manti and his family in discovering the motive for and nature of this hoax. While the proper authorities will continue to investigate this troubling matter, this appears to be, at a minimum, a sad and very cruel deception to entertain its perpetrators.

Is this the biggest WTF of all time?

This story just gets crazier and crazier.

Very possible. If thats the case he'd have been much better served to play hockey as an ESPN poll of players shows 92.3% of NHL players support gay marriage. NFL is second at 61.5%. After that NBA at 46.2% and MLB at 45% in favor of. Personally I would guess that the NHL has the lowest percentage of gay players and MLB and NBA would have the highest.

On a slight side note I wouldn't be surprised if Tebow was gay. Youngest male sibling in a large family, soft voice, extremely religous so he doesn't have to live up to the typical "player" standard also on top of that it's not uncommon for people to be scared of certain urges and turn to God to "cure" them.

Of course I'm talking out my arse but the point here should be we have to get over this pandemic of homophobia because if someone were to come out it would be a HUGE DEAL when in reality it should just be "oh he's gay, wow, never would have guessed, OH I love this commercial."

Oh and in the interest of fairness maybe I'm gay because I'm really quick to point out others that might be gay drawing attention away from my gayness.

While I was reading the deadspin story, that's the assumption I got. I can't see any other explanation for it... being embarrassed about an online relationship doesn't lead to a magnitude of this cover-up. He's Mormon and an athlete in an alpha male environment- two reasons why he may have felt compelled to have a virtual "beard" so to speak.

That or he's just mentally ill.
