As a Steelers fan I have been calling out Ben for my entire life. I have family members who treat him like a god and every single time I remind them that he's a predator and I get the side eye.
Facts man. My household is die-hard Steelers and my family would constantly say things like “ohh he was young and put himself in a bad position”. There’s no excusing the disgusting things he did and I’m glad I don’t have to root for a team with a sexual predator at QB anymore (looking at you Browns fans)
As a Ravens fan it was Ben being a predator that fueled me hating yall so bad. Now that Ben's gone I hate Cleveland more. Seems like every fanbase has some guys who would let SA slide for the chance their team could win a ring. For Watson though, that ring is never coming.
I'm french and I watched that movie when I was 12. I can assure you that american football was truly frightening to me for many years after that 😬 (until I started reading Eyeshield 21, became fan of the sport and started playing in a club)
I remember that show. The four things I remember in detail are: The linebacker paralyzing another player and visiting the guy in the hospital because he was felt so guilty. the older RB getting sat down by a coach and being shown his game film and why him losing just a half-step in speed means he needs to be replaced. Effing brutal. I remember the young RB (Omar Gooding) smoking crack at half time. And I remember the closeted gay player being outed to the team and defiantly showing up to practice where his teammates brutalized him repeatedly with dirty hits before the coaches threaten to publicly out him if he doesn’t leave the team. Show was wild.
If I had a nickel for every time I heard about Playmakers from a RUclipsr who posts essay videos in the last month I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice. Shout out to Raycevick.
Tbh a sports drama is the perfect way for writers to "kill off" loved and hated characters to show what's at stake, in a way where that character could still be brought back. Like players come and go, and come again and go again all the time. Beloved and likeable players get cut, traded, injured all the time. Toxic, disgusting, criminal players stay when they're good enough, sometimes they go. A new coach or GM could mean so many players are about to go out the door. A team could hire Josh McDaniels for some reason. Maybe that's the issue, though, casting.
This is random but one of my favorite things about sports animes is u can watch your favorite characters battle it out without worrying about them dying, also the rivals becoming friends makes more sense as opposed to other animes where literal mass murderers become “good guys” 😂
A sports drama would be legitimately so sick, but the issue is how do you get actors to recreate the scenes in which athletes make their bread? Plus I mean, guys like Vontaze Burfict would need to have their on-field behavior justified via some plot device whereas I'm not sure some of these guys like Burfict or Suh really had off the field motivations for playing the way they did.
I remember when Junior Seau passed away. I'd been watching and playing football my whole life, but that was the first time I ever heard concussions taken so seriously. I had a couple in high schoo along with a lot of people I played with. Everyone from the coaches to the training staff were so blase about them that it seemed like a non-issue when I was growing up. I was like people do this for a living and they're fine. And then Junior Seau passed away. Protip: They don't teach you to tackle in football, you learn to hit. Play rugby and you will learn by necessity how to effectively wrap-up and take someone to the ground without risking your head and neck. You'll also be better at tackling than anyone else on your team fr.
Very much this. From youth in football you're taught to seek impact, not contact. You're looking to take people off their feet before wrapping them up. I've heard coaches say "this is football, not wrestling!" Football is the one sport where violent, vicious hits aren't penalized so long as you can do it in a "clean way". As in no helmet-to-helmet, no targeting, no launching your above-shoulders area into someone else, and no clipping. Everything else? If we were cars on the highway it'd end as a tragedy but when they're kids with helmets its okay? I tell people all the time, if your kid wants to play football they should learn it through flag football first. Only go into a contact league if you love it enough to risk your body for it.
I will never buy into the fantastical version of football the NFL presents, but I'm also not gonna abandon empathy for players because of the very much foreseen consequences of giving young men untold amounts of wealth and influence based on nothing but athletic ability. Especially not when those men were groomed into the industry from childhood.
@@DaDualityofMan players deserve to get paid no matter what bc that's untold amounts of labor that goes into an athletic career even if you don't get drafted or "make it" anywhere. But I see what you mean, definitely hope the NCAA gets gutted sooner rather than later so a more responsible org can oversee paying student athletes
I'd also absolutely die for some grittier sports dramas/TV shows, there really is so much intersection. But the fact they made the decision to cut swear words from hard knocks this year crushes my hopes for the future
This is what I was looking for. The NFL is on every single channel and streaming platform. There will never be a real gritty football drama. Or for that matter any real sports investigational journalism.
Fun fact, Mutant League Football was made by EA Sports and used the Madden 93 engine. Another note: From the Associated Press: "Defensive tackle Brentson Buckner of the Carolina Panthers in 2004 called the show "hot garbage" when it premiered, but changed his opinion as the season went on. 'I think it was a shock treatment at first, to get everybody to watch it,' he said. 'But then it started getting into what it's really like and the reality of our lives.'" What also killed ESPN's initiative for sports dramas is that the second sports drama they made, Tilt (a poker drama), was terrible.

Can't lie I learned about this show because of Raycevick's recent video and man outdated editing aside it's really good. Keep in mind I'm not even American, I know next to nothing about the sport but the show had me hooked.
I just stumbled into your channel after Kendrick and Drake and I’ve been getting a lot of black context that, as a mixed boy from the sticks, ive been lacking. I’m super glad to realize that you also are a gamer that watches sports. Don’t give up on these vids bro!
So I learned about playmakers from a video by the RUclipsr Raycevick, a Canadian gaming RUclipsr who does retrospectives of video games and the games industry. His recent video, "A 'mature' sports game" discusses the show and how it influenced a small series of pretty mediocre and bad football games that took inspiration from the show and had some of the writers from the show work on the games. It's a great watch!
I knew exactly what show u were talking about as soon as I read the title. As a lifetime football player its literally one of my favorite shows ever and I love whenever it gets some shine 🙌🏾
I am one of the people who watches your videos but not sports, but for what it's worth, I did show your previous video on football to my very conservative dad and he loved it.
As a fellow 40+ Millennial, I do remember and played a lot of Mutant League Football and Mutant League Hockey. Also, your videos continue to be fantastic!
Thank you! I was describing this to someone recently and they had no idea what I was talking about. This show was great and I wish someone would pick it up and run with it.
I never saw entourage, but I did once invite a random person who arrived to a park in Culver city with a friend to have a joint and a beer, who turned out to be Jeremy Piven. 🤷♀️
I was in the NFL when this show came out. They did a decent job, except for trying to convince the audience that Omar Gooding had any business playing an athlete.
Honestly the NFL and the PA protecting its very worse makes me hate the product. As a Browns fan I’ve had more fun when my starting QB was hurt than not the past couple seasons
I don't often root for injuries but I pray for you Browns fans every week that Watson finally has the one that makes him retire. Hopefully his new lawsuit forces Cleveland to cut him or something. As a Ravens fan, I'd like this division to be finally free of predators.
junior seau took his own life with a shot through his chest. In a note he left he said that his brain should be studied bc he knew it was football that sent him over the edge.

I need you to know that American football is regarded outside of the US the same way America regards cricket. There are so many "why the fuck is the game like that?"s and "how does that rule make any sense?"s and "is this game STILL going on?"s on both sports.
I think it is worth mentioning that ESPN filmed and aired a film adaptation of John Feinstein's book "A Season on the Brink" about a year before Playmakers came out. For some reason they really liked the idea of scripted sports media at the time.

I was in 4th grade in Maryland when the Ray Lewis trial ended. Our gym coach asked us what the number one question for the Raven's coach was gonna be that week and I said "is Ray Lewis playing?" Damn near the only sports question I've ever gotten right. Still can't believe they gave him a statue

It’s always a good day when Unc posts as a lover of football and FD this was a great video
that ted lasso clip is wild
I’m not super into football but FD your work on the subject is always super engaging and entertaining! Plus it helps me connect with my partner who loves football way more than I do. Just wanted to comment to boost the algorithm on these type of vids and let you know your work is appreciated!
I watch sports and your commentary about the hazing, trauma and class issues is veryyy eye opening for how I reflect on the past experiences on sports
I was in 4th grade in Maryland when the Ray Lewis trial ended. Our gym coach asked us what the number one question for the Raven's coach was gonna be that week and I said "is Ray Lewis playing?"
Damn near the only sports question I've ever gotten right.
Still can't believe they gave him a statue
I like your sports vids, FD. It’s the kind of stuff I wish I had heard from sports lovers who used to be in my life.
I know of this show because of Raycevick's video about Blitz the League
I just watched a watch mojo episode and this show was on their segment. Keep switching up the topics. I love your commetary!
This video is bringing light to a show and a situation I think about constantly
Unc is on to something
We need more wwf/wcw dramatisations I always thought it'd do really well as a manga
I don't watch sports much at all now but I grew up watching sports. And I always look forward to your sports videos just as much as your other topics, mainly because if you put out a video on something, it's gotta be at the very least something interesting
The Last Boyscout opening scene was absurd 🤣🤣🤣
three minutes into the first episode and yeah aint no way the nfl was lettin this slide lmao
That Last Boy Scout opening scene still haunts my dreams. Why was it raining so god damn hard?
