From the production notes of the blind side, it says:
' Michael Lewis observes, “If you don’t tell this story, people might assume that Michael Oher was just this great athlete and he was predestined to be in the NFL. But when you look more closely, you see that if he hadn’t gotten out of that environment, he wouldn’t have even made it on a high school football field, let alone college or the NFL. He would have been dead or in jail…or just forgotten.”
Sean Tuohy agrees. “Michael was once completely devalued in the world. Imagine what kind of value we put on kids like him who don’t happen to be athletic. Imagine who gets passed by and that’s a shame. I think this story says we need to do more to help kids, all of whom have value.”
Michael Oher reflects, “I know there are people who have a lot more talent than I do, but they never made it out. So if people hear my story they will know that if you give somebody a chance, there is hope for that person.” '
