[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m curious what people here would have done differently.  Your kids classmate is struggling with grades and a place to live.  You have a big house so you offer him a room and get him a tutor.  You encourage and help him go to your alma Mater.

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.  [/quote]

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

This it's so ridiculous it's impossible to respond to.

It is creepy to realize that on top of everything else that the conservatorship gave them, they had rights to all of his medical information. All this time they could access his medical info and even try to exert control. It is so f'd up that they didn't petition to end this but we know it would have caused exactly what is happening now. If they had done that, they would open a can of worms that would have made it most likely for Michael to know it wasn't an adoption. Petitioning to end the conservatorship would have brought to light that it never was an adoption.

These people are vile. [/quote]
