About the episode
They’re out again, those lists about the highest paid sports people in the world! And who better to tease out the big winners and the big surprises than your For & Against team! In keeping with the theme, those multi-million dollar NFL contracts get put under the microscope for what is and isn’t guaranteed (spoiler: most isn’t) and the NRL try to agree a collective bargain in their own inimitable way (spoiler: their way is bumpy, argumentative and lots of fun to talk about). And in one of our most personal and psychologically revealing segments of the decade we’ve been doing this, Johnno talks us through how being Mankadded as an 8 year old turned him into the man he is today – and why he doesn’t think the Mankad is the affront to the spirit of cricket that some people make it out to be (spoiler: not everyone agrees, but that’s why we call it For & Against). On top of all that, there’s the latest chapter of Rugby Australia questionably supporting Australian rugby and a star-studded Red Card Yellow Card (spoiler: Cristiano Ronaldo, Michael Clarke, Sri Lankan prophets). Please enjoy another great episode of For & Against. For partnership enquiries please contact [email protected] omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
