Why would Manti Te'o do this if he was a victim?

According to Deadspin, Lennay Kukua's fake sister "U'ilani" messaged Manti over twitter after Lennay died. When some people called out U'ilani as a a fake and said they were using fake photos and were also running the phony Lennay twitter account, the U'ilani account was immediately deleted. Then, Manti Te'o deleted all of his tweets mentioning U'ilani. Seems like very suspicious behavior. As soon as someone calls them out as a fake, Te'o deletes all mention of them, but never questions it further? Come on. He's a fraud. My guess is that he was in on it and it was to protect his secret....Te'o is a homosexual. He didn't want it coming out, especially before the draft, so he made up the whole Lennay deal.

Teo that's not right to talk bull about other people. I mean I think he was in on it but you don't need to call him a homosexual without proof.

At first I thought he was just a victim, but the more I think about it, I think that he was in on it. I think he was hoping his sob story would make him look heroic still playing the game the same day his girlfriend and grandmother died. Especially being Notre Dame, they're all about great stories (Rudy) and comebacks.

As for accusing him of being a homosexual, oddly enough that's not the first time I've heard that. I'm not talking about haters coming up with stories, but I think people have been wondering why do the entire girlfriend charade...but it makes sense if you want to keep people off the idea of being gay. I mean seriously, how many guys (admitting there are sensitive guys out there) date someone for THREE YEARS and have never had a desire to meet them, have phone sex etc. Or even go to their funeral when they die? Or visit them when they're dying of leukemia? It's all just very odd. Three years is a long time. And when interviewed, he said it never crossed his mind to visit or to go to the funeral. Unless you're a heartless swine, it just sounds a little too fishy.

Te'o lives in fantasy land and doesn't have a clue is he was a victim or not...
