About this episode
Izak Rankine has become the most recent AFL player to receive a multi-week ban for using a slur on the field and it's igniting a bigger conversation about the culture of the AFL.
So is the punishment enough?
And can the AFL be doing more to stamp out its homophobia and harassment problem?
In this deep dive, hack unpacks what's been happening on the field, and how the AFL could tackle this issue at a community level, before it makes it all the way up to the Grand Final.
Guest:
- Caitlin Bunker, Falcons VFLW captain and engagement director at Pride Cup
