Not enough to steal his legal right to personhood
I don’t think they stole his personhood?
Did they make money off the story that he was a central part of? Yes.
Were they a part of that story as well? Yes.
Dis they lie and say “adoption” vs. “conservatorship”? Yes, but how many people would actually even know what in the world that is?
The courts will settle this. I don’t quite understand the hatred.
Good questions!!
The type of conservatorship he was put under does remove your rights as a person
Is there any evidence they did that? That wasn’t in the lawsuit, was it? I thought it was about money. Serious question. I haven’t followed this closely.. just here on this thread.
Yes, he was in a conservatorship of the person
But did they steal anything from him? He signed his NFL contract. He made his NFL salary. Evidently he blew his salary.
Either way I don't care enough about him or them to worry about any of it. I was just curious about how much they did for him before knowing there would be a book and movie.
No one has shown that he has blown his money
Theres also no evidence that the Tuohys (who are worth about $100m) took any money at all from MO.
One thing about this situation, nobody but the direct people involved will ever know what truly happened in this situation. All we are doing is speculating based on "reporting". As we know not all reporters report the actual truth.
Big game for the dawgs tonight. Who cares about the blindside movie?
Some folks here hate wealthy white people. That's where the hatred comes from.
Nope. Even though they should have had direct control over all of his finances throughout his entire NFL career, there is no indication that they ever took advantage of that. None. Mike assumed that the family made a lot more money off the movie than they really did. He was wrong. I'm sure the Touhy's explained it all to him countless times, but he chose to make a national court case about it. I don't know if Mike is desperate for money right now, but he certainly is acting like someone in distress.
Some folks hate successful Black men that came from nothing. That’s where this hatred comes from.
Literally nobody has shown any hatred towards Mike here.
I vote Yale vs PG in the Octagon. Undercard for the Musk vs. Zuck fight
Ummm
Evidence does seem to point to the Tuohys being slandered here by Oher who got his share of the movie money and all of his football money.
Evidence points to the Tuohys needing to be put under the prison
Being slandered by some of our colleagues on this site as well.
