Just watched this 2-part Netflix documentary and it was absolutely nuts! It follows the Manti Te'o girlfriend debacle in detail and reveals just how complex the situation really was.
If you're unaware of the story, Te'o was a massively successful and popular college football player who got embroiled in, what was ultimately the first instance of catfishing most people had ever heard of, and I'm not sure the word 'catfishing' was even a thing back then. The story was developing day after day with many people shifting from feeling bad for him, accusing him of lying, making fun of him, and everything in between.
There are more sports topics that the Untold series covers, including Tim Donaghy (NBA ref who gambled on games he officiated), the NJ hockey team which was bought by a mafioso and run like a slaughterhouse, Malice at the Palace, and other interesting sports media stories. Can't wait to see more.
