Suits.

Did you see The Blind Side? It tells the story of Michael Oher and the Tuohy's. Believe me when I say that it's a phenomenal story, an affluent Memphis family taking in an option-less, penniless, meal-less black boy from their kids' school. They go on to feed, clothe, nurture, educate, and love this boy. This boy flourished and became one of the most desirable high school football recruits. He picked Ole Miss, the alma mater of his new family and beloved tutor.

and now.... a pathetic commentary on the state of athletics in the States:

the NCAA jumps all over Michael, his family, and Ole Miss claiming foul play. Those tightwad suits accuse that the Tuohy's purposefully chose to help Michael in order to benefit their school's football team. They even go as far as to say that they fear this will become a precedent among other affluent families in the South.

Uh, WHO CARES?! .... in fact, that'd be great.

This is enraging to me. A little perspective, please?! Even IF this were the case in this situation, no one should give a flying fart in space. If the worst thing this family could ask for from this child they stuck their neck out for was to follow their footsteps, I say have at it! You mean to tell me that 'integrity in recruiting' is more significant to uphold than food, shelter, education, and the love of a family?! Shut. up.

In fact, I would urge all family of means everywhere to have the tenacity the Tuohy's did to take in and care for a boy from the projects. I'm not saying it's right, but even if he was physically forced to play ball for whatever college they choose, so what?! Still an ocean's improvement from the first kind of life that boy had been given. This family gave Michael everything so that he could even consider college, who cares where he goes?! For the record, this was not the case in Michael's story. Of course, they wanted him to attend their alma mater, but in the same manner they hoped it for their two other children. You see, their encouragement towards Ole Miss was just further evidence that the love they had for Michael ran deep enough that they held the same dreams for him as their biologically given children.

Come on.
