Should be pretty easy to figure out who made how much money off of all this. Mike assumes a lot of money was made and not given to him. The Tuohy's said there wasn't. That will be easy to prove. The part about how he was portrayed....take that issue up with the movie producers. Pretty sure the Touhy's had no control over that. Hollywood is famous for just making stuff up (don't let the truth get in the way of a good story).
If the conservatorship persisted till just recently, wouldn't the Touhy's have had control over Mike's NFL contracts and all endorsement deals? Here's a definition of conservatorship "conservatorship is the appointment of a guardian or a protector by a judge to manage the financial affairs and/or daily life of another person" I assume the NFL would not be able to sign a contract with Mike without their consent and approval. I am reserving judgement, but I have a feeling Mike is going to end up looking bad in this.
Conservatorship instead of adoption means he doesn’t get to inherit their wealth either.
It is pretty funny watching you flail about trying to spin a narrative because the facts don’t support your uninformed bias. Let’s one again go through your points and how bad they are as well as the facts and questions of the lawsuit:
It is hard to believe that anyone could look at this situation and immediately side with the Tuohys and vilify Oher
Yeah I have a feeling that’s one of the other reasons they didn’t want to adopt.
They had a pretty big input on the movie script
Don't know or care much about all of this. Do find it interesting that some people can go from being an epidemiologist to NFL talent evaluator to legal expert. All in about 3 years. Very impressive. Must take a very large head to to fit all those hats.
The script of the movie, can be found here:
The only time the word "adopt", "adopted" or "adoption" appears, is as follows:
Again, you fail to answer the basic question I asked which was do you have a link to the actual Petition? You see I am an actual f-ing lawyer for going on 20 years, though in Georgia not Tennessee. I ignore most of your drivel because it's not worth my time. You repeatedly dodge simple questions in favor of insults and your spin, so again DO YOU HAVE A LINK TO THE PETITION ITSELF? I would like to read the actual petition as opposed to your self aggrandizing prattle.
Well that certainly was easy. They also have a “charitable” organization that promotes adoption and have stated they adopted Oher in their speaking engagements
lmao you literally only throw insults and half-baked arguments around and then say I’m the one throwing around drivel? I’ve dodged no questions.
I don't see the word "adopt", "adopted", or "adoption" in your quote which is the word at issue. I see "guardian", and lo and behold here is Black's Law Dictionary's definition of "conservator":
Also, Michael signed a 13 million dollar NFL contract in 2009. Are you telling me he couldn't have hired an attorney in 2011 to tell him what a conservator is? Assuming any of this misrepresentation stuff is true, which is a big IF, that sounds like 12 years of negligence on his part to just be bringing this up now. Since he clearly knew it was a conservatorship in 2011.
And there's nothing wrong with that, is there?
I highly doubt it.
So you have no link to the actual Petition? You haven't read it. All the insults and spin and basically you are going off of hearsay as to what the Petition says or doesn't say. SMH.
