It legit didn’t happen at the ‘59 game, but...


Jim Brown was an executive producer, and I read an article (that I’m having trouble finding) that said that there were some racial issues during the 1955 WVU game that Brown was played in, and that Brown pushed to include it in the movie. The movie was more antidotes about the experience of the black student athlete a Syracuse during the 50’s & 60’s than it was a biography of Davis.
