Manti Te’o Jokes Are Exploding All Over Twitter: Here Are The Best We’ve Found
If you haven’t heard by now, Deadspin published an astonishing piece today claiming that Manti Te’o's “deceased” girlfriend never even actually existed. Notre Dame then released a statement, writing that the joke was on Te’o himself, contrary to Deadspin’s account of the situation. Te’o then released a statement of his own, reiterating Notre Dame’s claim that he was in fact the victim.
Twitter has not been kind to Te’o and Notre Dame. Here’s the best-of.
Manti Te’o has asked Facebook if they have any relationship status that is stronger than “It’s complicated.”
