[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Without the family who took Michael Oher into their home, Mr. Oher may have never played pro football. His gpa was way too low for NCAA requirement and the family got him 20 hours of tutoring per week. Oher took correspondence courses from BYU to raise his gpa and allow him to play NCAA football at Ole Miss.

Not trying to praise or criticize anyone, but there is always at least two sides to every story.

Also, many ex football players experience depression as a result of having suffered multiple concussions. I wonder if this is a factor in this matter.[/quote]

He was already playing football. He met the family because he was in PREP school with their kids. He was not dumb. He was just in a bad family situation.[/quote]

He might not be dumb.  But he has a 1.3 GPA.  Too low for the NCAA.  Without the support he gat form the family, could he have made it.  Possible.  Juco, other ways.  But is it likely?  No not really.  In any event this was his path.  It is both of them together that made this happen.[/quote]

[b]What a load of bull. There were other people there to help. The school would have helped. [/b]This white savior crap the tuohys love to spread needs to stop. That you keep mentioning it when it is clear they have used him for decades is disgusting. [/quote]

What planet are you from? You have no idea how real life works. Name a similar example.[/quote]
