Boys chuck a tantrum over the Matildas

It's been a while since we've heard anything from Nick Kyrgios... so he's put his two cents in about the Queensland government's announcement to erect a statue of the Matildas at Suncorp Stadium. He reckons it's "nuts", and former Australian basketball player Andrew Bogut thinks we should "move on". Sounds like someone's a little salty they don't get a statue...On this week's episode, we also discuss the decision to increase the prize money for the 2023 AFLW season, the Wallaroo's calling out Rugby Australia for unequal treatment, the Spanish football chief resigning (finally) over the kissing incident at the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup Final, and the staggering new statistics of sexual assault and domestic violence in Australia.WARNING: This podcast contains reference to sexual assault, sexual harassment and sexual violence.
