A strange little side quest
Between one round of Really Bend it Like Beckham and the next, this is worth knowing: Archery was already on the Olympic programme in 1900, boxing joined the modern Games in 1904, and basketball became a medal sport in 1936. Another piece of context lands nicely beside it: Atari's Gran Trak 10 from 1974 is recognized as the first arcade racing video game. That is the kind of background detail that makes another attempt at Really Bend it Like Beckham feel a bit more connected to the history of play.
