Almost 14 years after the release of The Blind Side, Michael Oher came out with his side of the story, claiming that the movie, which was marketed as “based on a true story,” was rooted in lies. The 2009 biographical sports drama was inspired by Michael Lewis’ 2006 novel of the same name, which primarily focuses on the evolution of American football strategy but also touches on Oher’s tale. Oher was a professional football tackle for eight seasons, having played for the Baltimore Ravens, Tennessee Titans, and Carolina Panthers. However, Oher’s journey to the NFL began when he was a child.
