Who Gets to Play Sport? with Natalie Korinfsky and Amanda Shalala
31 min
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. Guests: Amanda Shalala and Natalie Korinfsky Host: Dr Anna Cody Produced: Jay Gasser & SoSo Media Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
