Why? It's their story as much as his.

Most people would not bother to do any of that. Now many people think they only did that to get publicity, or maybe to recruit a great football player to their alma mater. But what would any of us have done? What would have had s different outcome for Oher that he would be entitled to compensation for? If he had played for Tennessee would he have had a better career in the nfl? A better education?

Let’s say they told the author and the studio no you can’t use our names. Then the author and the studio slightly change the names and plot and say ‘based on a true story.’ There are no royalties but the story is out there. Is that a better outcome for him?

Leigh Anne’s subsequent crusade/evangelism about fostering/adoption and generally how great it feels to be rich and Christian is pretty ridiculous. But it’s not gotten her a talk show, church, or even significant profits, and it’s her version of her lived life.

Let’s say they had formally adopted michael as an adult. He turns 40, retires from the NFL and asks them for $15 million. They say no. They haven’t given either of their other kids that kind of money. that money came from being fast food franchise owners. How would the outcome be different?

This is why there is no case.

This is such an illogical post it's not worth taking the time to respond in the detail required.

So then simply answer what exactly would YOU have done differently for oher?

You answer this question. Would you have lied to people and told the world via social media, books, speeches, etc that you adopted someone you did not adopt while getting adulation, attention, and money based on the fact that you adopted them.

This, my god. I would have ADOPTED him and held him in equal value to my biological children in every possible way.

Ok so how many teens have you adopted ?

I’m a different PP, but I adopted an adult. And she’s entitled as much as my biological children. Now what about you?

They haven’t given more to their other kids. SJ isn’t even a millionaire and the daughter married a fed ex heir who has more money than all of them.

But curious why you adopted an adult? Did they live with you for a while before adulthood? Didn’t it mess up all their fin aid applications if they went to college? Did they benefit psychologically? How did your bio kids feel about it?

No one would care about them without Michael Oher. That’s the big difference. He’s the Beyoncé of the group.

I don't think I could adopt and hold somebody in equal value to my biological kids, but I would not mislead him by saying conservatorship is the same as adoption.

Same. I wouldn't adopt an 18 yr old man and suddenly start treating him like my bio kids. The relationship can't and won't be the same. Maybe you can be a trusted confidante and ally, someone in his corder, but it's not a parent/child relationship. You're not really his parent and he knows that.

And your bio kids know that. It’s weird.

If he's smart, he invested it well. Hope he did!

He’s certainly burning a lot of it on legal fees that will go nowhere.

Interesting. I read the documents. Fairly standard. Oher had no power to sign contracts himself. But we know he did sign his nfl contract without any prior approval. Would seem to show that the conservatorship was never used.

They seek a jury trial and damages. They can't get either in Probate court. They can get an accounting and then any money owed to Michael plus interest.

How do we know he signed it without any prior approval? Proof?

Simple. If the contract needed prior approval, they (agent & NFL team) would tell him the reason it needed approval. Then he would know that he was in a conservatory and not adoption. He's not that dim.

He says in this legal petition himself that he always knew it wasn’t an adoption and was a conservatorship.

For the 50th time he thought it was the same thing. He was 18 and that’s how they explained it.

How do you think he felt when he realized that they had lied to him for years about him being their son? I wonder at what moment he saw them for the fakes they are. It had to be painful.

I don’t believe he “thought it was the same thing.” He knew it was a different thing and that it was a different means to a similar ends. Which was true.

Similar ends? He wasn’t entitled to anything her other children were entitled to.

No child is entitled to anything from their parents once they are grown. There’s no evidence they gave their other kids more than him, even though he’s made alot more money than either of them. He’s wealthier than their bio son by far. So how would legal adoption change any of that?

If Oher is nothing special, then why can't Leigh Ann stop using his name when promoting herself? If she's so accomplished, why does she need to keep referring to herself as Oher's "mom"? The reality is that no one would give any damn about the Tuohy's without Oher.

The PP is delusional. No one would care about some rich white Southerners who owned a chain of Taco Bell’s and KFCs if they didn’t lean into adopting a homeless Black teenager who became a NFL player.

I saw Blind Side in theaters because Sandra Bullock and I wasn’t even expecting the movie to be good because it looked cheesy from the trailer. She made that movie even slightly tolerable but it was still very poorly written. It should not have been nominated for Best Picture no matter how much money it made.

Rags to riches tales are a dime a dozen in the NFL. The Tuohys were already rich when they met him. He needed them more than they needed him.
