Sports movies are one of the mainstay genres in Hollywood. The more traditional ones tend to lean heavily into the inspirational elements, showcasing an athlete or a team who has to persevere through some hardship before becoming victorious in the end and all being better people for it. These kinds of movies are often beloved by people who are really into sports, and the best ones can even intrigue those who have little to no knowledge of athletics. Other times, however, the movies can focus a little too much on the sports jargon and end up alienating viewers who aren’t as interested in the subject.
