Very rarely are good sports movies actually about the sport.

Just re-title the thread "Great Sports Movies" and you'll probably get the same results.

I agree.

What, however, were some of the good sports movies that were as much or more about the sport?

What? Really?

Remember the Titans - 75% of the film is football. Football is the reason those kids segregated themselves. The schools were forced to but the kids came together as one unit, a team.

Cinderella Man - Depression, losing everything, down to the end of his rope...boxing brought him back. The sport gave him and his family a chance

We Are Marshall - Yep

Slap Shot - Funniest hockey movie of all time, easily. Classicly awesome. Perfect use of the sport.

Glory Road - See Remember the Titans Above

Bull Durham - It is about baseball, don't you dare take that away from me

Tin Cup - 90% of this movie is all golf

Moneyball - Changed the game of baseball

I am not saying you are wrong, I just think saying rarely is a bad move
