You’re right on that but the point still stands, until then the majority of the country didn’t know what a conservatorship was. That was also a very recent legal battle.
I’ve only seen the movie and read articles on this so don’t know what the books say. Lol at people bashing the Tuohy’s for helping him at all. They didn’t have to do anything. It’s facts that he was better off in their care than out of their care as a high school student. Who gives a shit if their motive was to get him to Ole Miss, he was still much better off under their roof. He also was not chosen at random from the thousands of kids in Memphis that likely need help. He went to their kid’s private school, that’s why he was chosen. I’m sure he stood out among the student population there in more ways than one.
The Tuohy’s may be self centered assholes but that doesn’t necessarily mean that they were in this case. There’s any easy explanation for why they would call it an adoption instead of a conservatorship in the public realm, the vast majority of the public had no idea what a conservatorship was before this story came out. Either way they had a legal obligation to him.
In the end all that really matters is how they treated him. Did they truly treat him as family? Did they do what was best for him? Did they use their position as his conservators to take advantage of him? Those are the only questions that matter in this story. So far Oher’s side of the story is all over the place while the Tuohys have a pretty solid story. We will find out if that holds up.
Except he already has a commitment date set so is unlikely to make it public any day. It’s got to be Black because I saw an article yesterday about how aggy was still very much a player in his recruitment. It makes so much sense that he would commit to us immediately after that article was published.
The lottery wife isn’t actually wrong though. If she bought 10 tickets and won but shared with 1 other ticket she would get 10/11 of the prize money. If she only bought 1 ticket and had to share then they get an equal 50/50.
Some of you people need a new AC unit or better insulation in your houses. My thermostat stays at 72 all summer with no issues. It doesn’t run all day either.
I think it all depends on what all of the couples originally agreed to. If you told them what the cost was and included the fee then they should pay their share of the fee. If the fee was not included when they agreed to the cost then you should pay the fee. If the cost was not properly communicated beforehand that is on you as the person paying.
I would still prefer to get a starting pitcher and baseline catcher in the portal. I don’t think that it is necessary to have a good season but do think it would push us to the top of the conference and make us a very good candidate to get to Omaha.
As a Dodgers fan I’m hoping he signs but as a Longhorn fan I’m hoping that he doesn’t. There really isn’t a better organization for him to sign with than the Dodgers considering their recent history.
