Rocky USA Weekends' Best Sports Movie

The March 3-5, 2006 issue of USA Weekend contained an article called "Our Oscars go to..." USA Weekend opened the article with: "We asked our experts for their picks for Best Movie in the categories that you really care about, from sport and food to romance and pets." As you'd probably guess, "Rocky" won for Best Sports Movie. Here's what was said:

BEST SPORTS MOVIE
Rocky (1976)
The Judge: Jorge Cruise, FitSmart

OK, this one might seem a little cliche. But I think there's a reason Rocky won for best picture: Everyone can relate! It's about personal struggle, being the underdog and fighting the odds, which is how many people feel when they're trying to lose weight or get fit. The fact that he doesn't win makes it even more relatable.
