Tha Manti story was hard to watch. So sad, but he was so naive.Tonight i watched I Just Killed My Dad and

It was so sad. It broke my heart because he seems to be a really good person. It’s crazy to me how much it hurt him in the draft.Tha Manti story was hard to watch. So sad, but he was so naive.
He was a good person, but the league is the most macho bunch of men on earth. The whispers were that he was gay. It cost him more than $10 million in his draft year alone.It was so sad.

While it makes a good documentary story, or a good way to bash the NFL macho thing, or claim homophobia to say the catfish thing cost him all that money and draft position, it's just not based on fact. The reality is, he was a creation of the college football hype machine on a team that was one of the most over-rated teams in the long history of over-rated ND teams. They played one of the weakest schedules in the history of college football to get to the national championship game (before even the current 4 team playoff). He was too small, too slow and just not that good. He and the whole team was run over by the only team they played all year that had any NFL level talent on it.He was a good person, but the league is the most macho bunch of men on earth.
