NOKW - The Replacements

Here comes the next chapter in our "I'm Okay With, I'm Not Okay With" series (if you don't know what this is, click here for all of the past posts):

Movie:  The Replacements

Basic Plot:  Keanu Reeves and a random group of misfits are hired to be replacement players for a professional football team.

I'm Okay With:  The fact that Keanu Reeves is depicted as a quarterback named Shane Falco.  The fact that the two huge lineman fire their guns at the QB-on-strike's car and they don't end up in jail.  The fact that Keanu Reeves doesn't beat the shit out of his kicker after finding out he was planning on missing the climatic field because he owed his bookie a lot of money.  The fact that Jon Favreau is in this movie (he plays the crazy linebacker) and that not many people know that he is also an accomplished director (Iron Man 1 & 2, Cowboys & Aliens, Elf).  And the fact that a bunch of replacement players beat a professional team, which would be like a high school team beating an NFL team, there is no way that happens.

I'm Not Okay With:  The fact that the owner of the team also hired a replacement coach.  Why in the hell would he need to do that?  It is a players' strike, not a coaches' strike.  In fact, during the NFL's most recent Lock-Out, the coaches continued doing their jobs for their respective teams, it was only the players that weren't allowed to enter team premises.  So, why would the owner need a replacement coach?  On top of that, why were there replacement cheerleaders?  NFL cheerleaders make peanuts for their work and can easily be replaced, so if they went on strike, too, wouldn't the team just fire them anyways considering they could be replaced so easily?  I am not okay with that.

"Fooootbawl!!!"
