While there will always be those movies like Field of Dreams or Rudy—which tell a story about one of the handful of sports you see on any given day when you flip on ESPN—sometimes it’s the story that tells the behind-the-scenes of the behind-the-scenes, like Moneyball, or inside an entirely massive world of its own, like The Queen's Gambit, that makes for the most engrossing story. If you care about the characters, and the filmmaking looks good and is written well, you can make a great sports story out of just about anything. Wallace, Rachel (November 24, 2020).
