Name 7 sports movies...
1 from each of the 4 major sports (football, hockey, baseball, basketball)
and three wild cards (other athletic competition)
that were not based on a true story
where the team did not win (championship/big game/focus of the movie).
"Any Given Sunday" is not the answer we're looking for in football.

That was based on a true story and I thought Permian won the Texas State Championship in the book/movie.

Yeah I know, hence me editing it out.
I felt like a moron for posting that after I hit the submit button.

I have seen that movie more times than I should admit but they win it all.
"and Tweeder drank beer because Tweeder drinks beer.......Billy Bob cried....well, because Billy Bob cries.....and I accepted my full academic scholarship to Brown University".
Like I said, I know this movie.
