Fair Play: S1E6 - Sexism in Sports Media

The president of New Zealand Cricket, Debbie Hockley has been threatened with physical violence and referred to in sexist terms in a petition set up to get her dumped from the Sky cricket commentary team. Zoe George discusses what women in sport media have to cope with on a daily basis, and we find out what is being done about the petition; we hear from Fair Play co-host Sophie Devine who won Player of the Year at this year’s NZ Cricket Awards, we have post analysis of the Commonwealth Games and an update on potty parity at Wellington's Basin Reserve. This month’s co-host is sports psychologist Karen Nimmo and who explains the effects of narcissism in sport. What is it, is it actually a good thing and how does it contribute to a team environment?
This month’s Fair Play contains strong language that some might find offensive.
