McKinnon wanting to take legal action for what happened to him is frustrating.
see i find it not so much frustrating as know he's going to need a lot of financial support to live a normal life - and the $1.1m + his NRL job may seem like a lot, but whatever he needs for standard living items like housing or transport will need customisation, and that comes at a cost.. not to mention carers, medical bills etc..
things we take for granted - being able to just go out and buy a car that suits us, to live in a top storey apartment (or a multi level house) or even to just get into a taxi when we need to - he won't be able to do any of these things.
lets say he invests the $1.1 into a house - and by the time he gets an adequate house that is kitted out for him there isn't much change left out of that.. and what if, like most people, he wants to move in 5-10 years? similar issue again..
he's still in his early 20's.. so much more of his life to live.. so much more in front of him that is going to cost more than it costs you and i.. simply because whatever he needs is not likely to be 'standard'..
and pretty sure it's not about a greed thing... i'm sure if you ask him if he'd prefer $5m or to be able to be fit & healthy, i guarantee which one he'd choose..
i think about things like being able to walk along a beach, with my daughter on my shoulders, feeling the sand between my toes as i do this.. something he is unlikely to be able to do in his lifetime..
not having a go at you mate, just flagging issues that a lot of people don't know
