This Ain’t The Movies

I don’t like sports movies. They aren’t very realistic, and they follow the same kind of plot in all them. There is usually an underdog that faces some sort of adversity against an unbeatable opponent, then protagonist either wins triumphantly in the end, or painfully lose in the closing seconds but learn all sorts of life lessons along the way. The start quarterback/point guard/pitcher usually has some daddy issues. It is the same formula in all of them.

Now, all movies of a genre follow certain patterns. The big bang action movies are all the same, romantic comedies are all the same, horror slasher movies, etc… But what drives me the most nuts about sports movies is in real life people cling to hope to their team because of what they see in the movies.
