Listen "03. Can Sport Ever Be Fair?"
Episode Synopsis
We all have different ideas of what it means to be 'fair' and who we need to be fair to. Is the way we currently do things in sport fair? Will it ever be? Is it possible to actually be fair to athletes, fans, owners, and the sport itself, all at the same time? And who should be making and enforcing these decisions?To break things down, host Professor Sam Robertson is joined by Professor Sigmund Loland and John Boultbee AM. Sigmund is a renowned Professor of Sport Philosophy at the Norwegian School of Sports Sciences and a member of the World Anti-Doping Agency ethics committee. John, a former barrister, is currently the CEO of the National Sports Tribunal of Australia and has previously held many leading positions in sport, including Director of the Australian Institute of Sport, Head of National Teams at Football Federation Australia, and High Performance Director of Volleyball Australia. Together, Sam, Sigmund and John discuss whether and how sport can be made more fair, how technology is playing into this, and the delicate nuances involved in trying to make things fair for everyone.
