LONDON – From, say, the mid-80s to the mid-90s Hollywood was in love with sports. Season after season, the tastemakers pumped out classics: Hoosiers, Jerry Maguire, Bull Durham, Field of Dreams, Rudy, League of Their Own, The Natural, various and sundry Rockys….Even the bad sports movies like Over The Top and BASEketball had a certain cult appeal
Today, it’s hard to get any big budget sports movie greenlit.
