Sports films usually do a poor job portraying the atheletic aspect of sports.  I took a class recently in which we were asked to view a number of sports films.  My opinion has not changed in that I still think there are few good ones.  I do have a theory why this is true.  Sports are only the vehicle used to transport an idea.  Often these ideas are very worthy, and I always wonder why no one takes the time and care to get the athletics correct.  I watched the "Jackie Robinson Story" yesterday, and while the athletics weren't too bad (Jackie played himself), the movie seemed patronizing.  It seemed the movie told a needed-telling story, but treated the audience as low intelligence racists that must be spoon fed with simplistic examples.  Maybe this was all too typical of hollywood at that time, but it is also typical of many liberals today.  They treat others as incapable of rational thought and feel only they have answers.  They insist upon burdening the country with their mandates without logical reasoning or meaningful debate and in fact will shout down arrogantly and angerly with ill-conceived rhetoric anyone that dares have a dissenting opinion.  This arrogance carries over to film when attention to detail is neglected (if the film makers don't know a subject, the audience won't,. either).  And if they do a poor job with what I know, maybe they are also doing a poor job with what I don't know.  Is it possible that some liberals have more prejudicies than the masses they are attempting to enlighten?
