The NRL’s preferential treatment, above other sports and all women’s sport, reveals an exceptional male privilege.

Panellists on Monday night’s episode of Q&A delivered a potent message about the need for change in the hierarchies of Australia’s sporting codes.

Israel Folau says he’s being persecuted for his religious views. Others say he’s pedalling hate speech. Rugby Australia say he breached his contract.

Sporting codes have long been willing to overlook the indiscretions of superstars due to their commercial value & popularity. Is that changing?

The super fight where men are paid to knock each other out. The Floyd Mayweather Jnr versus Conor McGregor is estimated to generate $1 billion.

Men behaving badly. Two execs resigned from the AFL because of their affairs and the NRL introduces new protocol for players guilty of crimes against women.
