[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is incriminating about a happy photo of him at the wedding?

You’re hung up on assuming he feels betrayed and has emotional pain. Most of us are saying it’s hard to imagine that given that they jet when he was an older teenager. Never mind legal definitions- did he feel loved? Did he feel like part of the family?

They are boosters. Fame whores. Ok. He got a free education and a great pro career.  The only reason he has a book to sell is because they had a book to sell.  It’s not a fairytale but his life is indisputably better regardless. [/quote]

Yes, but it’s 2023 and woke culture demands the white family be dragged through the mud. [/quote]

I don’t know what woke culture is.

Can you not acknowledge that much/all of the Tuohy’s narrative about their history with Michael puts his “African Americanness” front and center, and portrays them as “being so brave and good for how they saved him, their adoptive son”?  That is what I see, over and over. And it’s a gross, false portrayal. That falsity invites me to reflect on why they were so insistent on selling that false portrayal.

Is that woke?[/quote]

Did they not help him out?

Sure but do you really think that if they were honest with the fact that they let him live with them for a few years and paid for a tutor in exchange for him going to Ole Miss that was a story that should’ve been made into a movie and would’ve supported Leigh-Ann getting five figure motivational speaking gigs as his “adoptive mom”? Like I tutored underprivileged children throughout college if one of them makes it to the NFL should they write a book about me?[/quote]

Do you really think anyone would buy his book today if not for The Blindside?  “Talented poor kid makes the NFL” is not a unique story.    There’s only a market for his book because of the movie. [/quote]

Sorry- I meant to quote this. Why is the question of whether anyone would buy his book today without “The Blind Side” relevant?[/quote]
