Why would they? He was already almost 18.

Blind Side was a good movie.

I remember he was pretty mad about the film when it came out. I have never watched and I don’t know much about the guys actual life \. Did it make him look bad?

Here's my opinion: Oher is no longer employable and is broke as Hell. So, he called up the usual race-hustlers to try and sue and get some money.

Maybe Tim McGraw's character should have left him in the laundromat eating out of the garbage.

I never saw the movie but I read a comment about there not being anything about him being technically adopted in the film. Is this true? Is it in the book?

He was brought into a loving family and wasn’t he given tools to have an amazing life?

Whose fault is it that he didn’t move upward with those gifts?????

He may have a case. If they were the conservators of his estate, and made the decisions that they should’ve been putting all that money back that he was entitled to do a trust fund and investments. But is this the same old typical thing they spirit, and left him nothing I wanna see all the facts of this case

“Almost immediately after Michael moved in, the Tuohys presented him with what he understood to be legal papers that were a necessary step in the adoption process,” the petition alleges. “Michael trusted the Tuohys and signed where they told him to sign.”

And I don’t think any state would allow an unrelated child to just move in with a family without legal paperwork.

He never wanted the movie to be made. Everyone in the movie, except an opposing player and the father of that player, was made to look really good in the flick. There was one teacher who seemed like a d-bag at first but eventually came around.

Nick Saban, Philip Fulmer, Lou Holtz, Tommy Tupperville and Ed Orgeron are all in the movie

Reminds me of Colin Kraperdick, who turned on the white parents who raised him.

A White family at that, who had a little girl at the time.
