Of course not. Everyone knows that was Adam Sandler.

I never trusted those low life Old Miss grads. Pretty shady characters.

One thing we learned from the Manziel documentary is that all sides are greasy when it comes to NCAA football; the schools, the leagues, the families and the kids. There’s too much money involved for it to be squeaky clean.

 I didn’t. And don’t need to. Regardless if he was actually “adopted” or not. Who cares. Was he brought into their home? Was he given a roof over his head? Did he have a parental figure helping him and assisting him unlike his actual mother? Would he be a retired NFL player if not for that family? 
 

nobody is owed anything in this world. He of all people should know that. So what the family profited from the story. So did he. He became an NFL star. Earned millions.

  The movie and the family ďidnt make Oher a football star.  He did that with his play.  His being a football player helped the movie generate alot of money.  Why did they make him think the conservatoŕship paperwork was adoption paperwork?

I want Sandra Bullock's opinion on this

If I was Oher, I would get discrimination lawyer Lindy Korn on this.

Just so happens Oher released a new book.

We don’t know what the paperwork says, nor what he was told about the paperwork. So, basically, we know nothing. 

 

His word is one thing, theirs is probably another. The truth is usually in the middle somewhere. 

 

If I missed stuff, my apologies. I’m open to what we know FOR SURE. Not emotional reaction.

Nope. Didn’t miss much. Other than people whining about how he was mistreated when he was brought into a home from being homeless with a mother that cared more about her next fix then she did her own child.

  They were nice to him and helped him out; that doesn't mean they get credit for what he became.  

OK, I get this, but; do they deserve any credit for what he did NOT become? Considering the surroundings that they removed him from, I think that my question does deserve some merit.

   Sandra Bullockis not the problem. In fact I believe she has legally adopted a couple children and at least one was a black child.  Ñot that it matters but seems like Sean Tuohy is claiming the family received alot less than what's reported in the story.  Big discrepancy in the total he claims they got and what the story has them receiving and Sean claims Oher ģot an equal share whìch Oheŕ refutes.  Be interesting to see what deals they made in others name as conservators.  That will possibly shed light on true motivations.

OK, I just saw the news on this. They say the conservatorship was signed after he turned 18, and is still in place. Barring some shocking news, that ain’t right. 

 

What happened during the conservatorship will be up for scrutiny, but I doubt they were trying to milk this homeless kid they brought into their uber-affluent home.

     Your suggesting that Oher himself couldnt have made good on his own.  Hogwash, many people  growing up in similar situations manage to succeed despite a troubled background.  He was already an all ámerican hs player when he moved in with them but movie makes it seem like they taught him about football when that was not even close to the truth.

He would have never made eligibility.

 

Even if he somehow self improved from F's to A's in school, how could he afford the online classes and lawyers to fight the NCAA.

When you're getting Millions, would you notice if you're not getting hundreds?

I think the amounts of money you’re comparing is an understatement.

That’s exactly what many are suggesting. No father. Another living in squalor who was addicted to crack. A child that was homeless and apparently not succeeding in school. Yeah. That’s exactly what I’m saying. Facts are the deck is stacked against him. Is it possible for him to become what he did? Sure. Is it possible for him to become president of the United States, sure. However it’s more likely he ends up dead or in prison or living the gang life. I don’t know the statistical numbers to back this up. But I know from experience in people living this way, this life. I see it every single day.

depends on who you ask.

Oher is claiming Millions. Tuoys are claiming they split thousands.

 

Considering their net worth, just pay Oher and cut ties. He can buy a TEsla to live in...

 No. Shane Falco was real but Clipper Franklin was definitely made up.
