The 80s and 90s the time where sports films were huge hits and were used for more then just racial issues. Money ball is a great example along with Draft Day, Million Dollar Arm, and the upcoming movie million dollar arms. What makes sports films work really is the connection to the sport itself. But what these movies have in common  is a similar plot detail , instead of solely focusing on the coaches, athletes, and teams these films focused on the bigger part of sports the executive and scouts that make the teams. The recent movie Draft Day is a good example, the movie bases of the owner trying to look for players to draft we see what really goes on beyond the field.
