When I saw the previews, I really wanted to see this movie, because the real-life story was a good one. But unfortunately, as with all things Hollywood, they had to ruin it.

supporters of former Kentucky coach Adolph Rupp complained that the movie unfairly cast Rupp as a racist.

Wasn't Rupp a racist who had to be dragged kicking and screaming to allowing blacks on the team?

university officials waited to verify the facts of the game before seeking an apology

It'd be nice if Jerry Bruckheimer held himself to similar standards... but when you're just out to inflame racial tension, shock is more important than accuracy.
