Episode 93 - Who Says Sport and Politics Don't Mix

Who says sport and politics don’t mix? No-one on For & Against, that’s for sure. The team tackles Russian sporting sanctions, with a special interview with sporting economist and sanctions afficionado, Tim Harcourt, and discuss their impact on the hearts and minds of fans…and the budgets and sponsors of sporting administrators like FIFA and the IOC. They also look at 2022’s 'new and improved' Formula One, speed sky diving and Phil Mickelson hitting himself with a nine-iron. And that's before Red Card Yellow Card.
