Tuesday May 27 2025: Unpacking the harm of Run it Straight

The tragic death of a young man engaged in a copycat game of Run it Straight has further strengthened the calls for this type of exchange to be banned. But it’s education first. To talk to us about the incredible threat to health that human collisions bring, we speak with Professor Patria Hume, AUT Prof. of Human Performance.   Like a rapidly deflating balloon in a room full of spectators, AKFC stumbled at the last. Their fluffing of their lines against Melbourne Victory, underlines and puts in italics one of the oldest cliches in sport. D’Arcy expands. In the Chamber is NZ Herald sport scribe Alex Powell who yarns with D’Arc around Lawson’s great F1 weekend, the Wahs' stumble and the sadness of social media driven combat sports.  Big thanks to GJ Gardner Homes – New Zealand's most trusted home builder.  Get 'Sports Fix' every weekday afternoon on iHeartRadio, or wherever you get your podcasts.
