Olympic medalist Miles Chamley-Watson brought his long held vision for the future of fencing to life this past weekend as the inaugural World Fencing League made its global debut at the Shrine Auditorium, where Team Shield claimed victory in the league’s first ever competition.
I should be honest; I’m not really into sports. I follow the Baltimore Ravens occasionally (I’m happy they’re doing amazingly this year), plus I played tennis and practiced karate growing up. Still, I’ve just never really been interested in sports. The same goes for sports movies. Not that I hate sports movies, I love The Sandlot, The Longest Yard, Cool Runnings, plus a couple others, but I don’t go out of my way to seek out sports movies like I do horror and sci-fi. That being said, I don’t rule them out, a good sports movie needs to have a compelling character for me to latch onto, and Stay Close has that.
Finally we get another good sports film.
