With The Last Match and The Wolves opening soon, I thought it'd be interesting to catalog the major western plays that actively engage with the field of athletics. What I came up with:
The Last Match
The Wolves
Deuce
Lombardi
Magic/Bird
Bronx Bombers
That Championship Season
X's and O's: A Football Love Story
Colossal
Any others?

Take me out?
In our millions, in our billions, we are most powerful when we stand together. TW4C unwaveringly joins the worldwide masses, for we know our liberation is inseparably bound.

Take Me Out
If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it?
These are DISCUSSION boards, not mutual admiration boards. Discussion only occurs when we are willing to hear what others are thinking, regardless of whether it is alignment to our own thoughts.

Take Me Out really has precious little to do with sports.
Rather; it's a three hour tutorial on excellent personal hygiene.

Does a crap game and a song about handicapping horses achieve sports show status?
