How People think they knew he would be an NFL and make money off him is insane to me. They spent tens thousands of dollars on him through high school and college to go to a private high school and they evenly split the money between the family. This sounds more like someone got in Oher’s ear and unfortunately he listened. The family enabled Oher to have a career that he would not have had without their help and because of them he’s a millionaire and has a movie. I can’t believe people think he’s being used.
Exactly. But the story you tell just doesn't give reddit the same racial justice boner. So, most choose instead the more sensational and satisfying (but far less plausible) scenario.
Reddit's speed at (wrongly) vilifying the Tuohys is soon to be memory-hold. Watch (or rather not) for vindicating facts, such as the present ones, to (never) get elevated to the same degree as the more dopamine-inducing false allegations.
