I remember this story well and this documentary was quite eye opening. Another example of how differing the media can be, but more so, how disgusting we can be to each other. Why did Netflix give so much air time to this vile con-artist? Made me sick listening to them. The level of thought and commitment put into this fantasy was insane. Manti's life was completely upended and he could have ended up making quite a name for himself. I can't stand Netflix for trying to get us to feel empathy for the criminal who messes up his life. I do wonder what would have happened had he decided to go into the draft his senior year, maybe this story would have had a happier ending.
