    You'd think it would be about sport

    This movie is just a commercial for BLM.

    It started good (talking about sports), after that it was just about BLM and promoting their values.

    Great Documentary

    Loved it, made very well. Very touching, especially when they went over the George Floyd case. I don't watch sports and I still just loved this.

    Extremely well done documentary, relevant on multiple levels

    Really glad I got to see this. I dont even watch the NBA anymore but remember how they were the first sport impacted due to COVID. Following the journey across sports and the intersection with social justice was really well put together.

    Waste of Time

    I agree with the other user reviews, spoiled, rich athletes who think they are there to tell us how to live. Sports are there to entertain us and give us an outlet away from the issues of the world. Everyone should know the facts in all cases before they over react.

    Sorry But The Subject IS The Doc

    It can be very well done and executed, but it doesn't warrant a ridiculous rating based on that.

    A bunch of overpaid athletes couldn't make money playing a child's game. End of story.

    The story drags, on a subject about extracurricular activities that no one other than the athletes and owners need, with commentary actually expecting us to feel sympathy.

    Nope.
