Dealing With Some Discrimination, and Hiding Others?

Rating: Null/10 (6 November 2000)

I must admit the move threw me for a loop when the character that plays as "sunshine" kissed the other player. Forget the fact that nothing like this ever happens, in football locker rooms, let alone in the 70's. When I saw that seen I, thought, "O.k. So he's gay, right". So this movie is about discriminations that existed in our country. Well. Upon further review it seems the writer was just pandering, without really developing the story more. Many left the theatre unsure why the character "sunshine" was in the movie as a gay football player in the 70's. Indeed, many are unsure if he was gay. If he has no trials, or troubles to show the discrimination that his character would un-doubtedly go threw. Why do we have the character at all? Basically what I am saying is it seemed the writer was afraid to go that far....oh by the way I am gay, and republican, so my views may be somewhat off! ha ha ha ha...
