Triangle Park (2023)

NFL history in a nutshell
8 December 2023
Gorgeous and glowing testament to the humble beginning of one of America's most premiere sports games. I'm not a football fan yet was moved by the passionate portrayal of the little known team that actually won the first NFL game ever! Who would have thunk??? I personally would have liked to see more of the fun reenactments of the 1920s Era team but it worked well how the director intercut the replays with current players and modern playing. How most of the league creators wanted recreational activities for their workers or after church service activities. Makes sense! It was interesting how the team, which obviously was majority white males in the early 20th century that the coach recognized a black coach to help assist the team. While the film didn't dive into societal ills or nuances one hopes the team and staff treated this man with respect. There still wasn't any blacks on the team so it was only a small adjustment. It was a small stepping stone that obviously blossomed and it would have been nice to see more of the story! Kudos to the director to making this bold move. Overall a very positive and well moving piece that football and NFL mega stans should eat up. And historic buffs such as I will enjoy! Dayton, Ohio home of many firsts! Who would have thought???
