I think there's a place for feel-good sports movies, but I won't deny that I think there's a lot of room for sports movies that don't rigidly adhere to the formula of "rag-tag misfits learn the value of teamwork and ultimately defeat the Squad of Lucifer". Or the variation of "They come up just short but win everyone's respect". Sports can be an interesting and varied setting but Hollywood has little incentive to take advantage of that.
