Forget about Te’o’s fake girlfriend scandal


By: Michael Tellier

People need to forget about Te’o’s fake girlfriend story.  Was it wrong of him to make up such a ridiculous lie? Yes it was, but the guy is in the NFL now and what people should be worrying about is how he conducts himself from now on.

I mean if he wouldn’t have been drafted because of the scandal I would have understood that and frankly I wouldn’t have felt sorry for the guy, because the lie he made up was terrible.  However, the San Diego Chargers clearly see something in him.

Ever since mini camps began the media has questioned players about the scandal.  QB Philip Rivers recently spoke on the matter and said that people need to just drop the issue and basically stated that it is yesterday’s news.  And I agree with him.
Plain and simple the story is old, and in my opinion Te’o made the lie up in the first place to get attention, so stop giving it to him.  Let him play the game and hopefully mature in to a solid NFL player.
