The bit about the executives wanting to be rollerballers and vice versa is great stuff. It was my favorite scene in a very prescient and relevant piece of work.

Thank you for answering a question I had. I recognized Mac Ronny almost immediately as a comic who appeared on the great American variety show The Ed Sullivan Show but did not know his name. It must have been at least 50 years ago that I saw him perform - I remember with great fondness that he was amazing, hilarious albeit silent clown. Now that I know his name I will be able to look online for his work. Thanks again !!

I think they needed him to voluntarily retire, for corporate image, or kill him on the track. The goal of the corporation was to remove individuality and Jonathan was an individual even though he played by the rules.

Dude that is the most idiotic comment I have ever heard in my life. Every single executive including John houseman would have despised President Trump. He was a loose cannon. He’d would be giving up all the money to the roller ball players and the executives would be furious with him. Jonathan E spoke very little and performed like a monster. Kap was the exact opposite.

In terms of team sports' movies - this is the best of them all. It succeeds in convincing you that Rollerball is a genuine sport.
@racookster

That's because it's really a movie about corporate oligarchy, and the glimpses we get of the bread-and-circuses society that's hypnotized by the sport add up to something horribly realistic. The scene of decadent elites blowing up trees said it all. The 'seventies gave us a steady stream of depressing science fiction films, and this one was the most prescient.

His description of executives dreaming "they're great Rollerballers" is pretty much the way it's been for decades. Men in suits dreaming they're pro athletes.
