Episode Synopsis


Tony Armstrong considers himself a cynical person, which is why it's a somewhat ironic that he's emerged from his latest project with renewed optimism. The former AFL player has spent the past year researching the scope of racism in sport and society and seeking to do something about it. He’s seen the failed anti-racism campaigns, the well meaning but toothless initiatives and Armstrong has had enough. Tony has travelled the globe to speak to influential athletes, tech pioneers and grass roots advocates to chart a way forward in an increasingly insidious space. Featured: Tony Armstrong, ex-AFL footballer and sports broadcaster.Subscribe to the ABC Sport Newsletter
