WATERCOOLER CHAT: CATFISHING, NFC/AFC CHAMPIONSHIP GAMES

FOOTBALL

The Manti Te’o hoax is not going away. Did Manti set the whole thing up or was he really a victim of a hoax?  It seems pretty unlikely that he was completely duped as his interviews clearly mentioned that he “met” her and carried on a real relationship. Another possibility is that at some point he figured out he was set up and carried on the myth because he was either embarrassed and/or he loved the publicity. He really needs to step up now and clear the air. The term “Catfish” is now popping up everywhere and, don’t know about you, but I had never heard it before. Acccording to the Urban Dictionary definition: “A catfish is someone who pretends to be someone they’re not using Facebook or other social media to create false identities, particularly to pursue deceptive online romances.” It comes from the title of a 2010 documentary about an online romance. This story is not going away anytime soon and the only person who’s happy about it is probably Lance Armstrong as it’s taken some focus away from his doping scandal (which will not go away soon at all as there will likely be numerous lawsuits aimed at Armstrong over the next few years).
