This article is :marseylongpost: especially if you don't care about burgerball, but I'll sum up here and give you some reddit reactions to laugh at :marseythumbsup:

TL;DR

Background: The Blind Side

In 2006, a book came out detailing the :marseywholesome: story of Michael Oher, a :marseyblack: boy born into poverty, who grew up in the foster system, but who was adopted* by rich wypipo (The Tuohys) :marseymayo: . After the adoption, he gets his grades up, learns that he's really good at football*, and goes on to receive a full scholarship at a reasonably successful university football program (the same one his adoptive parents are alumni of :marseynoooticer: ) A real rags to riches story :marseywholesome: After he was drafted into the NFL in the first round a film (The Blind Side) came out starring Sandra Bullock that got her an Oscar :marseyoscar: . Sounds great right? He was given the opportunity of a lifetime, seized it, and was able to carve a nice 7 year career in the NFL for himself. Only...

The Twist

He was never adopted-he was tricked into signing a conservatorship signing away the ability to make his own business deals :marseywtf2:

The 14-page petition, filed in Shelby County, Tennessee, probate court, alleges that Sean and Leigh Anne Tuohy, who took Oher into their home as a high school student, never adopted him. Instead, less than three months after Oher turned 18 in 2004, the petition says, the couple tricked him into signing a document making them his conservators, which gave them legal authority to make business deals in his name.

That's just the start of the drama! Apparently his conservators used this power to negotiate the film deal to enrich their biochildren and themselves, while leaving Oher with nothing! :marseyhibernian:

The petition further alleges that the Tuohys used their power as conservators to strike a deal that paid them and their two birth children millions of dollars in royalties from an Oscar-winning film that earned more than $300 million, while Oher got nothing for a story "that would not have existed without him." In the years since, the Tuohys have continued calling the 37-year-old Oher their adopted son and have used that assertion to promote their foundation as well as Leigh Anne Tuohy's work as an author and motivational speaker.

Also-despite what the movie would have you believe, he was known to be good at football BEFORE this agreement was put in place :marseypearlclutch: Talk about a grindset-these guys pretended to adopt a majorly sought after football player, guided him towards signing for their alma mater, helped make a movie about him and made a big payday for themselves and their children to boot :sigmacap:

Today these allegations came to light-what do folx think?

The Reaction

You mean to tell me that a bunch of holier-than-thou, bible thumping, Ole Miss boosters from the South took advantage of a poor black child with an unstable home life because he was a clearly gifted athlete and had million dollar contracts in his future?? NO WAY! Who could have seen this coming??

That's so silly bro, this nice white family with a young daughter just took in a 300 lb black guy out of the kindness of their hearts and it just so happens that he's good at football

Just a legal form of slavery and all… we capitalize on all things you and your work… we hardly lift a finger.

I mean, this situation sucks but the guy literally signed away his rights and STILL ended up a millionaire :marseylaughwith: I wouldn't say its quite the same as :marseysaluteconfederacy:

The BEST the Tuohys should have gotten is 50/50 w Oher. But really it's his story and should have been like 80/20 in HIS favor.

These people are wealthy, white, and from Mississippi, no? Exploitation is endemic to the place. It's always been.

Exploitation is endemic to capitalism. It's not just a Mississippi issue.

From /r/cfb, rivalries are the sports version of wingcuckery and I love it :marseylove:

Fan of Oher's school:

On the flip side, didn't this family literally give him an opportunity at success? Oher had nothing before this family, correct?

Fan of that school's biggest and most hated rival, bitching about recruiting battles from over a decade ago :gigachad: :

Lol as a state fan who has been following Ole Moss shenanigans for years this is just the tip of the iceberg really. Y'all remember the era where they signed the #1 class? They “somehow” convinced all the 5 stars to come to Oxford Ms….

Fantastic drama from everywhere!

!nonchuds come and post about how you always knew this was a white savior movie in 2009!

Maximus pee/pee r-slurred commentary 1yr ago #4803564

On your knees, bucko. Someone shoulda broke you a long, long time ago. I have nary met a buck I can't chuck :marseysneed: with this here long and mighty dingus! I tell ye back in aught-4 I met a real mean one. He had big, air stealing :marseywatermark: nostrils, monstrous, boot lips, muscles :marseyerenabs2: that rippled under :marseyhole: his cobalt skin so it'd look like a nest'a snakes :marseydrsneks: as he'd be twisting here and yonder. T'was an older gentleman, the owner d'ye ken?, that had hired me to break this particular buck. Was some half-dozen breakers what had tried and failed! I tracked this this big-assed baboon, by fallerin' the sounds of his impressive proud :marseyghosthappy: buttocks, clapping :marseycricket2: as he capered to and fro on yon gentleman's land. There :marseycheerup: he be, proud as a darn peapeepee, black :marseyblack: slave's body framed by yon settin' sun, just begging :marseybeanpleading: to be broke. I approached from the east, formerly westerly way. Took him unawares as he were sat alone :marseyitsdangerous: out front a shack, mending a loincloth or some such. Knocking him to his glistening buttocks produced a thund'rus CLAP, and I mounted from the front. I tell ye boy, but that buck began :marseyitsover: to FIGHT! This unbroken, proud :marseysinga: negro :marseypenny: was ornery I tell ye, but I ain't ne'er been denied, d'ya ken it? I had my peepee out in an instant as he scrambled onto his black :marseyalice: belly and began ta' wrigglin' this way and that. And bucko did he began :marseyitsover: to wail! As loud as prairie lightning :marseypalpatine: he were. This buck could tell the breaking :marseysaulgoodman: was coming, and I tell ye, he did BUCK. This obstinate :marseyindignant: cur could turn on a dime and give ye some change! I tell ye as the winds were my witness, he were a right :marseyhesklennyyouknow: sunfish, struggling and flopping as he did, gyrating his unbroken black :marseymayoface: anus and dodging my breaker :marseysoutherner: man's meat. But he broke, and I finished :marseysunglasseson: the job. D'ye ken? That buck broke. Say sorry, boy. But they all break. By the man Jesus :marseyklennypriest: and his snowy white :marseypepsi: pappy, now say hallelujah, boy, you'll break, too!
