Consider me shocked the rich white Ole' Mississipian used a black man to their own benefit.

You bite your tongue. Blonde Sandra Bullock had a young Goskers07 feeling some type of way.

I think it worked out to his advantage as well

Eh. Consider me neutral there. I think the biggest benefit they gave him was a tutor to get his grades up. I'd think the school would have helped him figure that out regardless once they realized what they had. He was going to the league regardless otherwise.

So you are telling me that Leigh Anne Tuohy was such a great offensive lineman scout that she knew that Michael Oher would be an All American at Mississippi, become a first round draft pick, and knew it would be such a great story that Hollywood would make a 300 million dollar grossing movie out of the deal? She knew this when he was around 16 years old and was so sure of that she was willing to bring in an at risk youth into her home for the future profits it would generate?

I am not sure if she would be better served working in the front office of the NFL or as a Hollywood executive.

Hope the poor kid can make it

A couple of years ago Oher was bitching about how he was portrayed, he didnt like the movie made him look timid and he wasnt just learning football at the time, he had played. He didnt have any of these sour grapes about the Tuohys at that time. Seems as if Mr Oher has forgotten where he came from.

The typical answer with nfl players is that they have run out of money

People get so pissed off at me when I say this - But I feel so vindicated today.

That movie was shit for so many reasons. I'm glad he wasn't adopted so I could be right...

His main issue is that they made him basically retarded in the movie when that isn’t the case

And the reason this is coming up now is because he recently found out that he was never actually adopted. Allegedly.

With how much screen time "Hugh Freeze" had, he should have not so subtlely offered to pay for a hooker at least once, imo. Realism lacking

Might be an olineman or two you could adopt.

I’ll start an NIL/adoption agency.

Pretty sure he started the trend of receiving his contract in bitcoin. Originally he tripled his salary but then it crashed and probably only received half of what his contract was worth.
