Space Jamming Accessibility

" summary

Compares the 1996 Space Jam site and the 2021 remake using a keyboard, VoiceOver, JAWS, and Chrome DevTools and reports concrete failures: the original 1996 page supports full keyboard navigation and playable games with discoverable links, while the 2021 site puts a focus-trapping popover over the landing page, uses a non-button div with no keyboard handlers, omits main landmark and headings, and leaves game screens with no focusable controls; swapping the div for a real button immediately restores keyboard activation.
