It was obviously trying to be a similar film to "The Insider" which is about tobacco firms and is a fantastic film (watch it if you haven't!).
But compared to tobacco firms, the American Football business seem like lightweights in the intimitadion stakes. Or looking on the hopeful side of things, it's less easy now to get away with threatening people for saying things you know but don't want to hear.
It's great to have a central character who is classically introverted and unwilling to play the conforming role. But as a film there isn't really enough drama in the story to make it a must see. ( )
