What should the remake of "Pigs vs. Freaks" be titled? Plot elements?

Pigs vs. Freaks (1984 TV Movie)

In a small town, the hippie faction often clashes with the mainstream. To settle their differences, the hippie "freaks" take on the town police "pigs" in a football game. On opposing sides of the fence are Frank, the Police Sergeant, and his son Neal. Also at odds are Neal and one time friend Doug, a returned Vietnam vet who has joined the police force, who is also protective of his younger sister, who prefers the hippie element. To make things even more intense, Mickey South, who has fled to Canada to avoid the war, returns to play for the Freaks football team. Tensions mount, and all are challenged as the climax of the film approaches.

2. It has its charms...

The only reason I know of it is because it was filmed in Salem, Oregon, where I grew up--and I remember watching them film when I was home from college for the summer.

It was a made-for-tv movie, supposed to be shown in 1980 but didn't reach American living rooms until 1984. Tony Randall played a long-haired guru.
