re: Michael Oher alleges his adoption was a lie, family took all the film proceeds

That's an all time MSB naive take

225k per person, so for the father and mother doing the scam where they bring in someone to live with them, yes it’s thousands of dollars
quote:I haven't, I said that is what he alleged. But what he alleged is in no way, shape or form a "few thousand dollars." It's 7 figures, but you know that.
And once again, that’s if you slurp up everything oher is saying as 100% truth
quote:You assume that the scam was set from the beginning, but ignore that they could have just seen the opportunity arise with the movie in the moment. It didn't have to be some big plan from the very beginning.
So this 100 millionaire family brings in a black teen to live with them for multiple years so they can later get 225k for husband and wife and throw some at their kids
It’s ludicrous to try and take this seriously

Read that again, tell me that's not the most naive take you may have ever seen on the MSB. Zero chance you can say with a serious face, none.

And in the moment, a family worth 100 million that’s raised this kid for multiple years decides to go through the potential legal trouble in order to keep him from 225k?
That’s your angle that makes me naive for thinking it’s absolutely ludicrous?

That is what you said, factually. Try to keep tot he facts, not the shite you keep making up.

Me: So to confirm, you're saying ALL millionaires would NEVER do a anything shady for another million, right?
You: Yes, I am saying they would not go through all the trouble this scam would entail for basically pennies to them
You're on some shite right, it's literally word for word, exactly what I said, then your qualifier is just reiterating, again, exactly what I said.
Between this and a "few thousand dollars" for 7 figures, just embarrassing.

Michael Oher was an adult when the film was made. He was also an NFL athlete who had an agent who should have read over the film script and the film deal better.

At worst, they may have had altruistic motives to steer him to Ole Miss, but money was not a motive. Sean Tuohy was already worth more money then he could spend.
At worst they used a kid to build a brand and reputation (undoubtedly helped their businesses), collect royalties from books and movies, call him their adopted son, raise money for charities/foundations/speaking events/Ole Miss
AND
screw him out of a fair share of the above.

I still can’t believe how dumb they made him look in the movie

You two need to get together one day. Drink some beers. Laugh about the stupid shite you argue about on here

Judging by the lawsuit and timing...
They didn't make him look dumb enough

Yeah I might've fought someone if they turned my life into that bullshite. He already went to the high school thanks to Freeze, was already on track to being a bigtime recruit, and they took him in likely with the primary motive of steering him to Ole Miss.

If he was a QB, maybe I could go with the “they did it to steer him to ole miss” angle. But an offensive lineman? Not a lot of people are willing to let someone live with them for an o lineman
Woukdnt just paying him be alot easier, and honestly, cheaper?

A team coached by Ed Oregeron in the mid 2000s SEC is definitely valuing big arse 5 star lineman. The whole point of the book is how important and rare left tackles like Michael Oher are. Until Hugh got there and started buying dudes like Nkmediche and Shea Patterson, Oher might've been their biggest recruit in modern times.
Posted on 8/15/23 at 5:18 pm to saintsfan22
He was a rivals 4 star. Biggest recruit in modern times for Ole Miss? Christ on a cracker Powe was a bigger recruit in their 2005 class alone
Oher was a solid recruit. Maybe worth 5k under the table. Letting the guy live with you for two years with the sole person of sending him to your school? Hardly
