Leans Traditional
Primary
The film's central conflict, set within high school football, is resolved through a strong emphasis on traditional values, faith, discipline, and individual responsibility within a close-knit community, aligning its core solutions with conservative principles.
The movie features visible diversity in its cast, reflecting a typical high school environment, without explicitly recasting traditionally white roles for DEI purposes. Its narrative maintains a traditional sports drama focus, portraying established identities neutrally or positively without centralizing or critiquing DEI themes.
Secondary
