You don't like overcoming racial adversity and championships?

It's not the message I don't like, it's the execution.

You think Denzel is ugly?

Too bad she died later in Red Dawn

That was Jennifer Grey. Ruined her career.

Rudy has since been discovered to largely be a fabrication.

No worse than most of the Hollywood hero "histories".

Same with Remember the Titans. Nobody liked the coach either.
