S03E07 - TGL - Tiger & McIlroy's Tech-forward Golf League | The Future of Golf or Just a Fad!?

With all the chaos brought to the world of golf by the LIV tour, the sport was in a desperate need of a shake-up!! With that in mind, Tiger Woods & Rory McIlroy are looking to pioneer TGL - a golf league that's centered around technology, expected to begin in 2025! In this week's episode of the pod, we discuss this "new-age" version of the game that promises shorter game times, a more immersive fan experience, filled with a ton of new-gen sports tech - including a 64-ft screen and a moving chipping and putting arena!! Add to that a high-profile bunch of owners, and one starts to believe that maybe this is the future of golf?! Or will it all just be a fad, that eventually falls flat? Well here's our thoughts on the matter! #golf #pga #liv #tigerwoods #mcilroy #tgl #spieth #masters #morikawa #mickelson #highlights #masters #shaq #serena --- Leave your comments on thoughts and suggestions for upcoming episodes.

S03E06 - The World's Greenest Football Club | Real or just an Act? Is Sustainable Timber just Wood?

S03E06 - The World's Greenest Football Club | Real or just an Act? Is Sustainable Timber just Wood?

Running a football club is hard - running a football club goal with the goal of being completely sustainable - even harder!! Well that's the story of this English club that was taken over by a green energy industrialist in 2010, and has since been on a mission to create a sustainable and environmentally-friendly club!! From a pesticide-free pitch, to powering their stadium completely with renewable energy, to creating kits from recycled plastic, the club is tackling every aspect of the organization one step at a time! So on this week's episode, we deep dive into this team's green movement: - What have they done over the years to make FIFA call them the world's greenest football club? - What are their plans going forward? - Have they had any slip ups so far, and how have they held themselves accountable? - Can other clubs replicate their methods? #sustainability #football #soccer #greenenergy #cop23 --- Leave your comments on thoughts and suggestions for upcoming episodes.

S03E05 - Padel Tennis: just a fad or here to stay? | History & Growth of the Game

S03E03 - International Cricket vs. Club Cricket | The financial side of playing for country vs club?

With the growth of the IPL, the Australian Big Bash, and tournaments like the Hundred, the Caribbean Premier League and the Pakistan Super League, we dig into whether we are starting to see a shift away from International cricket, towards a club format? We dive into the demand that exists for international bi- and tri-lateral series, compared to club tournaments, and also discuss the player conflicts that arise with their national boards as a result of the high wages that can be earned at club events, especially in the IPL or in the Big Bash. #cricket #worldcup #bleedblue #cwc2023 #highlights #ipl #bigbash #t20 #india #kohli #rohit #bumrah #westindies #cpl #psl --- Leave your comments on thoughts and suggestions for upcoming episodes.

S03E02 - The Future of Cricket Formats | Is ODI cricket dead? | T20s vs ODIs vs Tests | #cwc23

Cricket in the current day, finds itself in an odd spot, caught between its three formats - Tests, ODIs and T20Is!! And with an ongoing world cup that's seen very few games go down to the wire, one can't help but question how the T20 game is impacting both ODI and Test cricket. In this week's episode of the pod, we delve into how we expect to see ICC and the cricketing world juggle playing the sport across its formats: - Is the growth of T20 cricket to the detriment of ODIs? - Has the ICC revitalized Test cricket? - Is T20 cricket offering quantity at the cost of quality? - What do the fans want to see? - Are there any other formats played at the club level that might become international formats? #cricket #worldcup #bleedblue #cwc2023 #highlights #ipl #t20 #tests #india #kohli #rohit #bumrah #warner #buttler --- Leave your comments on thoughts and suggestions for upcoming episodes.

S02E61: Team-mate Bust Ups | Draymond vs Poole | Two red cards for fighting team-mates?!?

S02E61: Team-mate Bust Ups | Draymond vs Poole | Two red cards for fighting team-mates?!?

If you follow the NBA, you probably heard about (or maybe saw the video of) Draymond Green punching Jordan Poole in a pre-season training camp! Well, this isn't the first time that team-mates have gotten into it with each other and it won't be the last time either...

This incident got us thinking about the most bizarre cases of "friendly" fire across sports, including:

- A cowboy shoot-out in a dressing room?!?

- 2 red cards to team-mates on the football field, in the same incident!

- A fight breaks out in a yoga studio?

- When not following team orders leads to an awkward podium!!

S02E60: FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 | Human Rights Violations and The West Pushing its Agendas

S02E60: FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 | Human Rights Violations and The West Pushing its Agendas

The FIFA World Cup is around the corner and there has been a lot of controversy around Qatar being the host nation. 

It started off with Qatar winning a bid that was due to corruption within FIFA with Sepp Blatter at the helm. After that, Qatar has been guilty of human rights violations with around 1,200 migrant workers dying due to inhumane working conditions.

However, there are lots of other things that the media does not consider and chooses to drive their own narrative, which is typically western and developed nation ideologies as they push their own agendas.

We discuss all of these aspects around the FIFA World Cup which will be held in December rather than typically summer times, and the impact it can have on players and league football across the major European nations. 

These are simply our opinions and thoughts on the matter. We condemn any acts of human rights violations but that is just one aspect of Qatar hosting the World Cup, and there is a lot more to it than meets the eye.

He then went on to play at the school as well as university level in the UK.

But football and the world of sport kept knocking, and he's back on his sporting journey, recently completely a masters in sports management at Loughborough University! And even after that, he couldn't help but keep feeding his love for the game, going on to start a non-league football team - Mill Lane AFC!!

We delve into the many highs and lows of playing at the immensely competitive school and university levels in the UK.

He also discusses the process of setting up a non-league football team in the UK, his aspirations for the team, and why playing football at a competitive level, even now, has been crucial for his overall physical and mental wellbeing.

S02E43: The Phil Mickelson Controversy Explained | LIV Golf Invitational vs PGA Tour | Another case of Saudi Arabian sports washing?

S02E43: The Phil Mickelson Controversy Explained | LIV Golf Invitational vs PGA Tour | Another case of Saudi Arabian sports washing?

The PGA has for many, many years now had a single-handed stronghold on the sport of golf. So much so that you forget that there even exist tournaments and associations that host golf tournaments, outside of the PGA. But this year, there's a new challenger - LIV!

What does it have to do with Phil Mickelson?!?!? Well, listen in to this week's episode to uncover the controversy surrounding Phil Mickelson and his statements around LIV. We also dive into the negative press associated with the owners of the tour (Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund, which also owns 80% of Newcastle United F.C.).

Is this another case of sports washing?

What are the differences in format and structure, versus the PGA?

Is this just a money grab for players, or is there genuine intent to change the format of golf tournaments?

This, and more, on this week's episode...

The Premier League season ended in dramatic fashion with a shocking comeback from Man City on the last day!! 


With last season in the rear view mirror and the next season on the horizon, we do an all round review of the entire season - What went wrong for Arsenal and United? Is there anyone who can come close to City and Liverpool next season? Did De Bruyne's PL Player of the Season award make sense?

S02E39: UEFA Champions League new format (2024 - ) | Is UEFA trying to appease rich club owners?

S02E39: UEFA Champions League new format (2024 - ) | Is UEFA trying to appease rich club owners?

Last year, the European Super League sent shock waves through fan bases across European football! Even though it only lasted a week, its impact was enormous, which could have led to UEFA's proposed new structure to the Champions League, beginning in 2024.

The new structure features 4 new teams, and also changes up the way the group stages and knockouts will be played! But is the change in format really going to appease the richest club owners who tried to break away from the Champions League last year? What are the implications of adding even more games onto the schedule? And who are the 4 new teams that will be included?

You can check out details of the new format here: https://www.espn.com/soccer/uefa-champions-league/story/4663021/champions-league-revamp-how-the-competition-will-work-from-2024-25

S02E38: NBA - Foul Calling | Has the NBA Become TOO SOFT? | Charging Fouls vs Blocking #Basketball

Things always get heated in the NBA playoffs, but this year, games seem to be boiling over more than usual, with things reaching a tipping point during the Warriors vs Grizzlies series, with Draymond Green and Dillon Brooks getting ejected in back-to-back games for dangerous fouls on players going up.


This week on All About Sports, we highlight some of our concerns with foul calling in the NBA, including unnecessary technicals that need to be removed from the game, a review of flagrant 1vs flagrant 2 calls in the GSW-MEM series, as well as the block & charge rules!


Also, stay till the end for a few stats on foul calls this season in the NBA!

S02E37: Who Should be India's Next Cricket Captain? | How Good is Babar Azam as Pakistan Captain?

S02E37: Who Should be India's Next Cricket Captain? | How Good is Babar Azam as Pakistan Captain?

The role of captaincy in cricket involves a level of responsibility that in many ways exceeds that of a captain in any other sport! The influence a captain has on a game, a series, or even an era is immense in cricket! The list of captains that transformed the state of cricket for their nation is a long one - Kapil Dev inspiring India to victory in 1983, Imran Khan's influence on Pakistan's 1992 World Cup win, Ponting's and Steve Waugh's role in Australia's dominance through the 2000s, and Dhoni's leadership in winning the 2007 T20 World Cup that led to later winning a World Cup, Champions Trophy and taking India to #1 in the Test Rankings! The importance of a captain is undeniable.


In this week's episode of All About Sports, we discuss the future of captaincy across nations! With India, we look to the future and try to predict who takes over from all-format captain Rohit Sharma, who's already 35 years old! Who do we see as potential candidates for the role, and whether they'll even be consistent enough to be in the starting XI when the time comes? Outside of India, what is the future of Pakistani cricket, is Babar Azam the man to revive Pakistan's cricketing fortunes? For England, how long can they stick with Eoin Morgan? And is the clock running out on Aaron Finch as Australian limited-overs captain, with his continuing struggles with the bat?


Stay till the end for the quiz, that's all about cricket captains!

The GOAT (Greatest of All Time) debate is always a messy conversation across sports, but add in the additional fold of weight classes and the UFC debate gets even more complicated!!

In this week's episode of All About Sports, the topic is the Pound-for-Pound ranking of the top UFC fighters across generations and amongst men's and women's fighters.

S02E33: What Next for Women's Sports? | Lia Thomas and the future for Transgender Athletes

S02E33: What Next for Women's Sports? | Lia Thomas and the future for Transgender Athletes

This year, Lia Thomas won the NCAA women's swimming 500-yard freestyle to become the first openly transgender athlete to win an NCAA Division I national championship, in any sport. While Lia adhered by all the necessary NCAA requirements to participate in the women's bracket (including testosterone suppression), her success to date has come under scrutiny, further augmented by the fact that her victory saw her finishing ahead of Olympic silver medalist Emma Weyant (by 1.75 seconds!!).

This week on All About Sports, we cover the concerns raised by athletes and viewers regarding the participation of transgender athletes in women's sports. Is there sufficient evidence to suggest a clear advantage or is a single case of success skewing public perception? Is there a need to a change how sports are grouped by gender to more appropriately account for transgender athletes?

In addition, we discuss the future of a swath of other women's sports, including cricket, football, UFC and WNBA! Which sports have done a great job in promoting their female athletes? How to change people's mindsets on sports where viewership is skewed towards male athletes? How has viewership for women's sports evolved in recent years?

S02E31: Sporting Restrictions on Russia | UEFA CL Predictions | Who wins #RealMadrid vs #Chelsea?

Whether its cricket games between India and Pakistan, the multiple boycotts that countries have made for the Olympics, or South Africa's ban from international cricket during apartheid, sports has often been used as a political tool, and the Russia-Ukraine conflict is no exception.

In this week's episode, we cover the restrictions placed on Russian and Belarusian athletes across some of the major sports - football, tennis, F1, winter olympic sports and athletics, as well as the sporting impact it will have on the countries directly involved in the conflict.

S02E29: #NBA 75 list | Were Klay Thompson and Dwight Howard snubbed? | #Dame vs #McGrady

The NBA is in the midst of its 75th season, and in celebration of its longevity, the league announced a list of top 75 players, which included the likes of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Lebron James, Magic Johnson, Steph Curry, and 72 others (with a tie at #75) spanning the NBA's history!!

As fans, we got to witness the awesome moment when the players assembled together in a snapshot that showed the cross-generational community built in the NBA. But with any list, we had to debate the names, and see who maybe should have been left out, and others who deserved to be on, but didn't make it. Tune in to hear who we thought were our biggest snubs from the list and who shouldn't have made it! Is there a big man bias keeping stars like Dwight out of the 75? What about rings? Does Steph Curry's spash bro, Klay, need to be shown some love?

Also stick on till the end to hear our picks for current players who we think will make the NBA 100 in 2047!!

S02E28: Gender pay gap across sports | USA Women's Soccer wins $24M lawsuit against the federation

S02E28: Gender pay gap across sports | USA Women's Soccer wins $24M lawsuit against the federation

After a 6-year saga between the U.S. Women's national soccer team and the U.S. soccer federation, with the women fighting for equal pay with the men's team, a legal settlement was reached in the amount of $24 MILLION, a majority of which would go to the women's players in back pay. The settlement was, in essence, an acceptance by the federation, that despite generating similar amounts of revenue in ticket sales in recent years, pay between male and female soccer players had been lopsided.

In this week's episode, we cover the issue of the gender pay gap across sports. Specifically diving into the U.S. WNT legal settlement, we talk about the necessity to test the generalizations made about revenue generation between men's vs. women's sports. We also dived into how this is assessed across sports - in tennis, what is the impact of equal pay in Grand Slams but uneven pay in ATP / WTA tournaments? Is the 100's model of equal pay in cricket expandable? What does the gender gap look like in the NBA / WNBA and in the UFC?

Also, stick around till the end for the quiz, focused on women's sports!

S02E25: Idolisation in Sports | Violence & abuse in sports | Impact of being in the limelight

S02E25: Idolisation in Sports | Violence & abuse in sports | Impact of being in the limelight

As fans of sports, we often find it hard not to treat our favorite players like gods, we follow their every move, imitate their behaviors and  are emotionally connected with how they perform. With this continual attention some celebrities in the sports world, much like celebrities in any industry, likely feel a sense of entitlement and elevated status, which has unfortunately reared its ugly head in one way or another. 

In this week's episode, we go over some of the recent instances of abuse that have come to light, with regards to players at Manchester United and Manchester City. We look at similar cases that we have heard of in the past and try to examine some of the reasons for these occurrences. During the episode, we also cover some of the steps being taken by teams, sporting federations, as well as more broadly, legal authorities and law enforcement to curb such cases. More generally, what can fans, like us, do to moderate some egos and limit emotional damage caused by the continual scrutiny and the limelight.

S02E21: Novak Djokovic v/s Australia | COVID Vaccinations in Sport | Omicron vs Elite Sports

S02E21: Novak Djokovic v/s Australia | COVID Vaccinations in Sport | Omicron vs Elite Sports

As with every industry across the globe, the sports world is continuing to learn how to manage the COVID-19 pandemic. And this year's Australian Open has brought this to light with its ongoing saga with Novak Djokovic, whose visa has once again been revoked!


In this week's episode of All About Sports, we cover the intricacies of managing player, fan, and national expectations through the pandemic. With Djokovic's decision to not get vaccinated (with an apparent medical exemption), what is the right approach for sporting events and teams when it comes to the vaccine? Should it be enforced across sports? And who's to blame for the disconnect between Djokovic and the Australian government, that seems to have escalated to an uncomfortable political feud between Serbia and Australia? Also, would another spike in cases and game cancellations require sports like basketball and football to hit pause again?
