Fair... Enough?

We like to think that sport is one of the fairest parts of society. The fastest runner wins. The best team succeeds. Talent rises to the top.

But what if success in sport is shaped long before the game begins?

In this episode, Dr Anna Cody speaks with ABC Sport Deputy Editor Amanda Shalala and community sport advocate Natalie Korinfsky about the systems that influence who participates in sport, whose achievements are celebrated and who gets access to opportunities.

Together, they explore how media coverage, investment, facilities, leadership and cultural expectations help shape sporting pathways from grassroots participation to elite competition. They also examine why gender inequalities continue to persist, even in environments that pride themselves on being merit-based.

This is a conversation about how ideas of fairness are created, and why equal opportunity often begins long before kick-off.

A young man searching for confidence, purpose and belonging finds himself pulled into the manosphere. Flynn Martin shares how algorithms and online culture drew him in, and what ultimately led him to breaking away.

Hosted by Sex Discrimination Commissioner Dr Anna Cody, the episode also features Dr Zac Seidler, Global Director of Men's Health Research at Movember, who explores why these spaces resonate with so many young men in the first place.

Most importantly, they examine what it takes to leave. Because if these spaces are filling a gap, the real question isn't simply why young men are being drawn in. It's what they're looking for in the first place.
