From racism and xenophobia in cricket and football, to gender bias and pay equity debates in tennis and athletics, from bullying in locker rooms to casteism in team selection - troubling reports of the LACK of inclusion in sports have reached all our ears.
In our very first episode, we explore the following with Anuradha Santhanam, a sports journalist (see a detailed bio below):
What happens when the teams we obsess over, the players we worship and idolize are either the victims or alleged perpetrators of discrimination or other non-inclusive practices?
What can we do as fans, consumers, and spectators of sports to hold ourselves and our beloved sports stars accountable to do better, be more fair and inclusive - on and off the field?
About Anuradha Santhanam
A copywriter by trade and a sports journalist in what feels like a previous lifetime, Anuradha today spends a fair amount of time making bad puns on twitter, or music, or both. She's passionate about exploring the hows, whats and whys of sport, something she has written about a number of times.
She once also embarrassed herself by shaking hands with Gigi Buffon.
