Certain types of stories are eternal, even if they might not be inescapable. Sports anime is one of those genres, with nearly every season containing at least a couple of shows that fit the descriptor. Basketball, soccer, football, baseball, figure skating, wrestling, running, tennis, and golf have been spotlighted in anime, and they have all featured in fantastic series. Occasionally, the industry throws out a show revolving around a fake sport like Keijo, so the sky is truly the limit.
