The Texas Football Movie That Hollywood Ignored—But Netflix Just Resurrected*
Some stories refuse to die. Some legends are buried, only to rise again. And now, a *forgotten* Texas football tale—one that Hollywood abandoned—is exploding back onto the scene.
The film industry has moved on from the glory days of sports dramas, but Texas? Texas **never** stops fighting. And now, one movie—one *underdog* story—has clawed its way out of the shadows, taking Netflix by storm a **decade after its failure.**
Texas, are you finally paying attention?
#### *A Story Too Powerful to Be Ignored*
This isn’t just another sports movie. This is **grit. This is war. This is Texas football at its purest.**
*My All-American* tells the **true** story of Freddie Steinmark—a name that should be burned into Texas football history. He wasn’t the biggest. He wasn’t the strongest. But he had more heart than an entire roster combined.
When the world told him he wasn’t enough, he fought back. When the odds were stacked against him, he refused to fall. When the Texas Longhorns needed a leader, **he became one.**
Then, just two days after leading his team to a **national championship**, he faced an opponent even he couldn’t tackle—**cancer.**
Doctors found a tumor in his leg. Amputation was the only answer. But even as his body failed, his spirit raged on. He watched from the sidelines as Texas pushed forward, carrying his legacy with them. By 1971, he was gone. But his fight? **It never ended.**
So tell us, Texas—**why did you let the world forget him?**
#### *A Film That Deserved More—But Hollywood Turned Its Back*
*My All-American* had everything: A powerhouse performance from Finn Wittrock. A script penned by the legend behind *Hoosiers* and *Rudy*. Filming locations drenched in Texas pride—Austin, San Antonio, Dallas, Fort Worth.
But Hollywood? Hollywood shoved it aside.
Released in 2015 with **zero fanfare**, the film was drowned out by the likes of *Frozen*, *Gravity*, and *The Hunger Games: Catching Fire*. It made a **pathetic** $2 million against a **$20 million budget**—a box office **massacre**.
Not because it wasn’t great. Not because it wasn’t powerful. But because **nobody even knew it existed.**
Texas football **deserved better.** Freddie Steinmark **deserved better.**
#### *Netflix Just Changed Everything*
Then, **out of nowhere**, *My All-American* hit Netflix. No flashy promotion. No press tour. No social media blitz.
And yet—**it exploded.**
Suddenly, a film that was left for dead **found new life**. Viewers who had never heard of Freddie Steinmark were now glued to their screens, watching his relentless, all-or-nothing battle unfold.
Was it football fans craving a real story? Did *Cobra Kai* binge-watchers stumble upon it by accident? Or did Texans—**real Texans**—finally realize that one of their own had been overlooked for too long? 
Whatever the reason, **the film is back.** And this time, it’s not going unnoticed.
#### *Texas, Where Were You?*
Texas football is **more than a game.** It’s a blood oath. It’s **sweat. Sacrifice. Brotherhood.** It’s **burnt orange and bone-crushing tackles.**
So how did an *unstoppable* Texas warrior—**a Longhorn legend**—get lost in history?
Where was the Texas pride when *My All-American* first hit theaters? Where were the Longhorn faithful when this film struggled to survive? Where were the sports fans who claim they never back down from a fight?
And now that Freddie Steinmark is back in the spotlight, will Texas finally give him the recognition he **fought** for?
This is **your** moment, Texas. The film is streaming. The story is alive. The legend is waiting.
**Are you finally ready to stand up for one of your own?**
