<br/><br/> "Sports films are a popular genre. In some ways they are akin to highlight reels, depicting the emotional climax of wins and losses, aggression and dominance. They also epitomize the kind of propaganda of male dominant culture, packaged for entertainment purposes. This discussion of sports film heroines begins with National Velvet (1944) and ends with Secretariat (2010)"--
