I believe that Troy’s legacy was really a lesson to
Cory because of his work ethic for example, Cory has served in the US Marines
for six years now and that takes a lot of work, really pretty much all Troy
wanted him to do which was work and not fool around the football. For Lyons
Troy really wasn’t around for him when he was growing up so really he didn’t leave
much behind for Lyons he made Lyons more of a responsible person. “Thanks for
the ten dollars pop I’ll give it back to you” “there they go telling another lie.” Troy didn’t think that Lyons was going to pay
him back but he did and proved Troy wrong. But another thing that Troy really
left behind was himself through Cory, “Your daddy wanted you to be everything
he wasn’t …. And at the same time he tried to make you into everything he was.”
So pretty much Cory is just a relaxation for Troy on the inside. Just because he
said he didn’t want to go to his funeral, it something Troy would say because Troy
really never went and supported something that Cory did like football so Cory
has this revenge of if you don’t come to something I want you to come to then I’m
not going to what you and your family wants me to go to. Overall Troy’s legacy was
left behind though work ethic and you can see that through Cory because he work
now and he doesn’t mess around with football anymore. Legacy is really shown
through family I believe
I agree with you that troy wanted Cory to get a job and stop playing football. when Cory quit his job Troy gets mad at him because he wants him to be hardworking and successful.
