IowaOiler Posted August 14, 2023 Report Share Posted August 14, 2023 There is a lot of projection going on at this point, and with race being only secondary to gender in the societal victimhood Olympics, it's hard to know who was right and who was wrong....it's likely a little of both.

Hard to see where Oher was in any wrong. If he's guilty of anything, it's being naive and dumb for letting the family fuck him over. While there is a racial element to this that will absolutely be highlighted, in all likelihood these people would have done the same thing if he had been a different color, Opportunists see green, not black or white.

Starkiller Posted August 14, 2023 Report Share Posted August 14, 2023 Seems like it took him a long time to figure this out if the movie came out in 2009. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet this shit gets settled quickly or doesn't survive summary judgment. I still don't understand what the claim is or how these lawyers think this grown ass man is gonna get paid after so many years. It's kinda sad they did him dirty like that -- but (Devil's Advocate) it was her book about her life, right? I mean, what did he actually do to promote the book/movie? Can't they say the same thing back -- that he is trying to profit off of her hard work and life? Without him the book doesn’t exist. Also it was Michael Lewis’ book, not hers.

By the fact that they were with him for every career milestone he had including his retirement I think its safe to say he really trusted them.

Someone's dad notices this kid is a dominant athlete, and they find a way to get him to play on their private school team? A white southern family helps him out (one of many families helping, since he's dominating in the school's sports programs), and then get really interested once they realize he's talented enough to go pro, even pushing him to call him "mom" and "dad"? They don't adopt him, despite promising to do so, but have him sign a conservatorship using a local family lawyer/friend right when he turns 18? They then promote the idea that's he's some blubbering idiot who they saved, negotiate book and movie deals, and tell Oher they didn't get almost any money from it? This is a page from the Favre book of fucking people over. I'd say this is worse than Favre as they personally knew and supposedly loved the kid. The poor people screwed over by Favre's stuff were all anonymous. Still bad behavior but this is personalized fuckery. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
