1
00:00:05,320 --> 00:00:09,520
Speaker 1: Welcome to the Rap, a weekly podcast covering women's sports news. Bez,

2
00:00:09,640 --> 00:00:11,600
Speaker 1: what have we got around the grounds? This week?

3
00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:17,279
Speaker 2: Queensland have Sadly in Bradfit's So Sad won the first

4
00:00:17,360 --> 00:00:20,919
Speaker 2: ever three game women's State of Origin series. The Aussie Gems,

5
00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:23,480
Speaker 2: which is the underraten's basketball team one back to back

6
00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:27,319
Speaker 2: Asian Cups, and Australian Miyakritza has become the youngest ex

7
00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:30,720
Speaker 2: Game's gold medalist in history at just nine years old.

8
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:33,840
Speaker 1: What is with these nine year olds? They're absolutely freak

9
00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:35,080
Speaker 1: What are you doing when you were nine?

10
00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:39,720
Speaker 2: Not that he was coloring a lot like I was. Definitely.

11
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:42,080
Speaker 2: I was definitely jumping off gutters on my bike.

12
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:46,240
Speaker 1: You should have been in the next Guts. But the

13
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:48,720
Speaker 1: key story will chat about a new report that has

14
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:53,920
Speaker 1: revealed there is a huge demand for women's sports merchandise,

15
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:55,959
Speaker 1: but supply is not keeping up.

16
00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:57,200
Speaker 2: Pie am shook?

17
00:00:57,400 --> 00:00:59,560
Speaker 1: Would you believe it? My name is Chloe Dalton. I'm

18
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:01,960
Speaker 1: joined every week on the show by my co host

19
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:06,680
Speaker 1: Bez Morton. We're recording on gadigall Land. It sounds weird, See, I'm.

20
00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:11,319
Speaker 2: Just I'm just a one name person. I'm like Beyonce wow.

21
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:15,679
Speaker 1: Jeers feeling this morn. Hey, the next two weeks we're

22
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:17,959
Speaker 1: going to be having a break from the wrap over

23
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:21,639
Speaker 1: school holidays. But do not fear, because still every Tuesday

24
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 1: and Thursday we can actually be giving you extra athlete

25
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:28,000
Speaker 1: interviews over the next two weeks. Tuesday Thursday, next two

26
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:30,680
Speaker 1: weeks athlete episodes. Get them in your ears. In the

27
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 1: lead up to Paris Olympics and Paralympics, they're going to

28
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:38,520
Speaker 1: be bloody good. Let's take a look around the grounds.

29
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:40,960
Speaker 1: In a bit of Rugby League news, I would like

30
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:43,200
Speaker 1: to take this story off the rap this week. I

31
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:47,160
Speaker 1: was very disappointed all your fault in the state of Origin.

32
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:50,880
Speaker 1: Queensland has made history after defeating New South Wales twenty

33
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 1: two to six to claim victory in the league's first

34
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 1: three game State of Origin series. The Morons could not

35
00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 1: have asked for a better start, scoring their first time

36
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:03,680
Speaker 1: in the first minute of the game courtesy of Avania Paliti,

37
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 1: and they were only just getting started. They headed into

38
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:10,360
Speaker 1: the break with a fourteen naerl lead. I just I

39
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:13,000
Speaker 1: had this feeling we knocked it on, you said, I

40
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:15,520
Speaker 1: was knocked it on early and then as soon as

41
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:18,240
Speaker 1: Voney crossed the line for that first try. It didn't

42
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:19,440
Speaker 1: have a great feel about it.

43
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:21,359
Speaker 2: Again, the conditions weren't wonderful.

44
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 1: They were not wonderful. And I just feel like Origin

45
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:26,400
Speaker 1: is all about moments and momentum.

46
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 2: Moments and momentum.

47
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:29,720
Speaker 1: I don't know, I can call me feel gold.

48
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 2: Please know you way more intelligent than him.

49
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:37,360
Speaker 1: Besides another spectacular full field effort from Jamie Chapman to

50
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:39,680
Speaker 1: give the sky Blues some points on the board, the

51
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 1: match and ultimately the series title belonged to Queensland. Maroon's

52
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:47,880
Speaker 1: forward Shannon Mato was awarded the twenty twenty four Nearly

53
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 1: Dougherty Medal as Player of the Series, racking up four

54
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:54,080
Speaker 1: hundred and forty eight run meters across the three matches.

55
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 1: That's solid. Sky Blues coach Kylie Hilda told media after

56
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 1: the game Queensland were a much better team than us tonight.

57
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:03,839
Speaker 1: I know that this new South Wales team are better

58
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:06,360
Speaker 1: than what they just presented. It's really disappointing and I

59
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 1: know the girls are hurting as much as anyone else.

60
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:14,160
Speaker 2: They just they definitely had moments where they look the

61
00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:16,760
Speaker 2: better team. They just couldn't finish. Yeah, and again it's

62
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 2: that kind of thing. In those conditions, it was raining

63
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 2: again for those who didn't see it. If you're trying

64
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:23,360
Speaker 2: to chase a game, you know, once you get in front,

65
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:25,519
Speaker 2: it's very difficult to chase a game in the web.

66
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:28,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's very true, isn't it, because you start doing

67
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:30,919
Speaker 1: desperate things like there was just a few loose offloads

68
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:33,679
Speaker 1: and more next year.

69
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:38,040
Speaker 2: Rough in Hockey Jesus has been some selection chaos the

70
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:41,120
Speaker 2: time of recording. At this moment, hockey team hasn't officially

71
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 2: been released as yet, but there's a lot of conjecture

72
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:49,280
Speaker 2: out there that hockey is veteran Rosy Malone has been

73
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 2: snub from the squad despite being fully fit to play.

74
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:55,040
Speaker 1: So when this episode comes out Tuesday morning, the team

75
00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 1: will have been named because it's getting named Monday abo. Yeah.

76
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 1: Oh interesting, but we think from all reports it's sounding

77
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:02,840
Speaker 1: like that's the case.

78
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 2: Yes. So news about the shocks noving came last week

79
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:11,120
Speaker 2: via Tracy Holmes, who shared on X I've learned one

80
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:13,240
Speaker 2: of the world's great hockey players, rose In Malone, has

81
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:15,920
Speaker 2: been excluded from the Hero's team to be named next

82
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 2: week for Paris twenty twenty four. So Malone both a

83
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:22,279
Speaker 2: pretty impressive hockey resume, including at the end of last

84
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:25,119
Speaker 2: year being only one of five players in the world

85
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:27,839
Speaker 2: nominated for the International Hockey Federations Player of the Year award.

86
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 2: Seems very strange.

87
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 1: How are you top five in the world and you

88
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:34,760
Speaker 1: don't make the Australian team.

89
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 2: Very very strange. She was an Olympian in Tokyo and

90
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:39,720
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty one she was a member of Australia's

91
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:41,839
Speaker 2: twenty twenty two Come Off Games team that won silver

92
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:44,200
Speaker 2: and the team who claimed bronze at the World Cup.

93
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:46,480
Speaker 2: She scored thirty two goals in one hundred and six

94
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:48,320
Speaker 2: matches for the ho Eury since making her debut in

95
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 2: twenty eighteen, and she's not missed a single game she

96
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:53,919
Speaker 2: was available for since that debut. Until now, I didn't

97
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:54,360
Speaker 2: know that.

98
00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 1: I didn't know that she hadn't missed a single game.

99
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 1: What's she done? Why do you pointed the finger at her?

100
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:05,680
Speaker 2: Though I don't know. I think she's running over the

101
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:06,279
Speaker 2: coach's cat.

102
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:09,920
Speaker 1: Oh god, I hope the cat's okay. Former hockey root

103
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:13,240
Speaker 1: clinikomaf had told ABC's Sport the admission a mission had

104
00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:16,640
Speaker 1: shocked everyone in the hockey community. She said, it took

105
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:19,240
Speaker 1: me a bit to process it. I was in disbelief.

106
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:21,880
Speaker 1: She's a shell of herself. I'm used to her being

107
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 1: this bright, bubbly, extroverted character and I'm looking at a

108
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:28,440
Speaker 1: walking ghost. I think it's odd. I think it's a surprise.

109
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:31,880
Speaker 1: It's believed that Malone launched an appeal with the National

110
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:35,280
Speaker 1: Sports Tribunal, but this was rejected. So this is going

111
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 1: to be again really interesting to see how it all

112
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:40,720
Speaker 1: plays out once the team is officially named. According to

113
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:45,240
Speaker 1: Hokey Australia's selection policy listed on its website, selection considerations

114
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:48,200
Speaker 1: are a player's current form and performance and they're past

115
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:51,320
Speaker 1: playing record, as well as their physical qualities, technical skills

116
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:54,800
Speaker 1: that play skills and flexibility. Also weight up, according to

117
00:05:55,040 --> 00:06:00,760
Speaker 1: policy is team orientation and psychosocial perspective. I wonder if

118
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:02,960
Speaker 1: that might be used in the reasoning.

119
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:06,839
Speaker 2: What can you please explain to me what psychosocial perspective means?

120
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:10,680
Speaker 1: No, but I'm going to take a stab that it's

121
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:15,760
Speaker 1: about your psychological capacity and your social interactions with your

122
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:17,680
Speaker 1: teammates in a high performance environment.

123
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:20,479
Speaker 2: It's a very good summation. Are here for it? Onto

124
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:23,760
Speaker 2: the next In Super Netball, the Adelaide Thunderbirds have handed

125
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:26,679
Speaker 2: the Melbourne Vix's just their second loss of the season,

126
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 2: defeating them seventy three to fifty eight. They flogged them

127
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:32,000
Speaker 2: the top of the table clash, so the reigning champions

128
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:33,799
Speaker 2: take on the team who have not budge from first

129
00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:37,039
Speaker 2: place position all year. The Thunderbirds were fierce in front

130
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:40,120
Speaker 2: of their home crowd, leading at every quarter time break,

131
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:43,839
Speaker 2: making sure their side remained undefeated at the Adele Entertainment

132
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:47,159
Speaker 2: Center in twenty twenty four. So with just two rounds

133
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:48,880
Speaker 2: left to play in the season, the Thunderbirds are now

134
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:51,360
Speaker 2: just four points one win behind the first place Melon

135
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:53,360
Speaker 2: Bixens and it's getting very exciting.

136
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:56,320
Speaker 1: Very close. In a bit of football drama, there's a

137
00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:59,120
Speaker 1: few few dramas going on this week, isn't there a

138
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:03,719
Speaker 1: drama drama? The Manchester United women's soccer team has set

139
00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:06,520
Speaker 1: to be moved into portable buildings at the club's training

140
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:08,840
Speaker 1: complex for the twenty twenty four to twenty five season

141
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:12,520
Speaker 1: to allow the men's squad to use the women's building

142
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:17,280
Speaker 1: while their indoor facilities are being revamped. Last summer, a

143
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:20,520
Speaker 1: ten million pound state of the art women's and Academy

144
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:24,520
Speaker 1: building opened on the Carrington site, but according to multiple sources,

145
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:27,320
Speaker 1: the men's team will have priority access to it throughout

146
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:30,640
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four to twenty five. The move for the

147
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:34,440
Speaker 1: women's team comes after United's co owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe,

148
00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:37,920
Speaker 1: who was in charge of football policy, admitted that focusing

149
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 1: on the men's side meant he had not yet gone

150
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:44,400
Speaker 1: into detail on the women's team.

151
00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:51,320
Speaker 2: I love the just the blatant disregard. It's crazy, crazy.

152
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:53,520
Speaker 1: Is there's so many layers to it, isn't it. Like

153
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:56,120
Speaker 1: you see the change room stuff, and then you see

154
00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:58,720
Speaker 1: the fact that there's obviously other things going on into

155
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:00,560
Speaker 1: the club around the treatment of women. For him to

156
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:03,000
Speaker 1: come and say that, yeah, give me so blatantly.

157
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:05,000
Speaker 2: He is the quote because I love the language here.

158
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 1: Oh god, we've been pretty much focused on how do

159
00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:11,280
Speaker 1: we resolve the first team issues?

160
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:13,080
Speaker 2: So what number team has that make the women's team

161
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:13,560
Speaker 2: do we think?

162
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:17,560
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure they're the first team in that environment,

163
00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:20,440
Speaker 1: and that's been pretty full time for the first six months.

164
00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:22,000
Speaker 1: That is actually quite disgusting.

165
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:25,800
Speaker 2: Seriously, first team, Oh my gosh.

166
00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:30,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, that has unsurprisingly not been well received, that language

167
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:30,760
Speaker 1: at all.

168
00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:31,240
Speaker 2: Shocking.

169
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:35,160
Speaker 1: According to the Athletic The Professional Footballers Association the PFA

170
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:38,840
Speaker 1: have been made aware of growing discontent relating to United's

171
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:41,560
Speaker 1: treatment of their women's team. This is not a new

172
00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:44,440
Speaker 1: issue at United. Members of the women's team contacted the

173
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:47,640
Speaker 1: PFA in twenty twenty one amid concerns over the conditions

174
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:49,559
Speaker 1: in which they are expected to work and the level

175
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:53,440
Speaker 1: of commitment from those in charge. Captain Katie Zellam has

176
00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:56,680
Speaker 1: departed on a free transfer, as has Lucia Garcia, while

177
00:08:56,679 --> 00:08:59,959
Speaker 1: star goalkeeper Mary Irvs is closing in on a move

178
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:04,600
Speaker 1: mo to PSG. That says enough in itself, doesn't it.

179
00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:06,640
Speaker 2: And I think what's one of the most disappointing things

180
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:11,000
Speaker 2: about this whole situation? And look, speaking from someone who

181
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:14,160
Speaker 2: worked out of demountables at the Wartars, that was all

182
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:16,440
Speaker 2: of us, but for a good couple of years because

183
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:19,400
Speaker 2: we were getting a new facility built. I think when

184
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:21,800
Speaker 2: I started hearing about this, so they had a ten

185
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:25,080
Speaker 2: million pounds state of the art women and Academy Women's

186
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:28,320
Speaker 2: an Academies building. So for me, that's like, so we're

187
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:31,840
Speaker 2: talking twenty five million dollars, it must be pretty decent

188
00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:35,840
Speaker 2: sized building. You can't rotate three squads through that building,

189
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:37,679
Speaker 2: then you're not trying hard enough.

190
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:39,720
Speaker 1: Well, and if it's already been made for the women

191
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:42,960
Speaker 1: in the academy, it's already catering for two, right, so

192
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:45,640
Speaker 1: you're just having to But it's like this idea that

193
00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:47,800
Speaker 1: the men could not possibly have to.

194
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:52,000
Speaker 2: Share facilities absolutely not, like they need to have whatever

195
00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:55,440
Speaker 2: they need whenever they want it and everyone else suffers.

196
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:56,480
Speaker 1: It's just gross.

197
00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:59,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's it's quite mind blowing. I just and

198
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:04,120
Speaker 2: obviously you know, Sir Jim Ratcliffe, co owner.

199
00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:07,160
Speaker 1: Is just clueless, Like I can't stand him.

200
00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:10,040
Speaker 2: First team. She's never met him. Not a fan, not

201
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:13,839
Speaker 2: a fan. But anyway, for all those United fans out there,

202
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:15,240
Speaker 2: and one of my dear friends is a very big

203
00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:17,760
Speaker 2: United fan, I feel for you because must be really

204
00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:20,600
Speaker 2: disappointing to see the way the club is treating the

205
00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:21,520
Speaker 2: women's game.

206
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:25,120
Speaker 1: And to have to change the club you support.

207
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:29,800
Speaker 2: To Chelsea over her dead body in some X Games news.

208
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:32,560
Speaker 2: So back on the skateboard. This is mind blowing. So

209
00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:34,880
Speaker 2: this is not me jumping off gutters as a nine

210
00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:38,679
Speaker 2: year old. I think I popped few tires. It's pretty

211
00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:43,640
Speaker 2: radical anyway, Australian Meakretza is way more radical than I

212
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:46,840
Speaker 2: have ever been. She became the youngest X Games gold

213
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:50,680
Speaker 2: medalist in history at just nine years old. Nine, So

214
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:52,000
Speaker 2: what is that she's in year three?

215
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:53,360
Speaker 1: Is that what it is?

216
00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:55,480
Speaker 2: I think? So Freda is nine, she's in year four.

217
00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:58,560
Speaker 2: We need Freda's young for a year. We need one

218
00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 2: reading for long term listeners.

219
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:04,320
Speaker 1: There're no freedom because she asks questions on the athlete interviews.

220
00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:04,960
Speaker 2: That's right.

221
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:08,600
Speaker 1: So we need to get one of these young kids

222
00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:11,080
Speaker 1: on here, because we've had Chloe Covelo on a couple

223
00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:13,200
Speaker 1: of years ago. She's now thirteen fourteen, trying to buy

224
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:15,760
Speaker 1: for a spot in the Olympic flow. I think that

225
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:17,240
Speaker 1: team's also being announced today.

226
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:19,439
Speaker 2: There's so many exciting announcements, isn't there.

227
00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:21,640
Speaker 1: There's a lot of announcements. But I'd love to get

228
00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:23,960
Speaker 1: one of these nine year olds on, probably maybe an

229
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:26,280
Speaker 1: adult who can speak about the nine year olds.

230
00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:28,240
Speaker 2: Let's just let a nine year old hold about it. Yeah,

231
00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:30,360
Speaker 2: make sure we've got lots of lollies, get them real

232
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:30,920
Speaker 2: pumped up.

233
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:36,120
Speaker 1: I want to know, is it because their body is

234
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:38,720
Speaker 1: so tiny that they can spin more rapidly and do

235
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:39,720
Speaker 1: more things? In the air.

236
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:41,920
Speaker 2: Is it a physic I think it's a combination of

237
00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:46,520
Speaker 2: physics and also a complete lack of fear. Of fear

238
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:48,120
Speaker 2: and awareness that you could die.

239
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:50,559
Speaker 1: Yeah, Because if I think about now as an adult

240
00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:52,640
Speaker 1: going on, I used to love roller coasters and things.

241
00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:54,760
Speaker 1: Now I go on a roller coaster, it's not the

242
00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:58,640
Speaker 1: same experience. I think this is probably quite disrespectful to

243
00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:00,760
Speaker 1: compare their skill to going on a roller because these

244
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:03,080
Speaker 1: kids are epic. But you get what I'm saying about

245
00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:03,600
Speaker 1: beer thing.

246
00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:06,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're talking about biological development of the brain, right,

247
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:08,160
Speaker 2: it's the migdlas.

248
00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:10,520
Speaker 1: Is that the wise? Yeah?

249
00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:13,360
Speaker 2: Excellent, So that's that part of your brain actually doesn't

250
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:15,880
Speaker 2: develop until you're a teenager properly.

251
00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:21,360
Speaker 1: You can do all the sick tricksy come here for

252
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:23,200
Speaker 1: your brain science every week.

253
00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:27,520
Speaker 2: Brain science. Anyway, let's get back to me. So, for

254
00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:28,920
Speaker 2: those of you that don't know, The X Game is

255
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:32,040
Speaker 2: a series of action sport events that include skateboarding, BMX

256
00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:35,320
Speaker 2: and moto cross events. It's a one at the women's

257
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:39,400
Speaker 2: skateboard vert best trick by landing a double revolution seven

258
00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:42,480
Speaker 2: twenty on at the second of her five attempts to

259
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:43,280
Speaker 2: move into first place.

260
00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:44,320
Speaker 1: So good.

261
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:48,000
Speaker 2: She did have to little nervous weight, so fellow ossie

262
00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:51,280
Speaker 2: Arisa True had a few cracks at a nine hundred

263
00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:55,800
Speaker 2: when she recently did Yeah, so this is obviously couldn't

264
00:12:56,080 --> 00:13:00,800
Speaker 2: just couldn't pull it off in this competition. So yeah,

265
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:03,480
Speaker 2: I loved it. Crets are afterwards, as any nine year

266
00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:05,680
Speaker 2: old would say, I feel so happy. It's just amazing,

267
00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:07,280
Speaker 2: It's crazy great.

268
00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:09,840
Speaker 1: I'm surprised there wasn't a stoked in there. Stops a

269
00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:11,800
Speaker 1: bit more surfer though, isn't it than skater.

270
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:14,560
Speaker 2: I reckon all extreme sports? She was stoked, I know

271
00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:15,000
Speaker 2: she was.

272
00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:19,880
Speaker 1: In basketball news, majority ownership of Australia's women's Basketball League,

273
00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:23,760
Speaker 1: the WNBL is changing hands. This is big news. Actually,

274
00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:28,640
Speaker 1: the wall of my capital Group syndicate WCGS. It took

275
00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:31,600
Speaker 1: my brain a while to get that acronym out. The

276
00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:36,040
Speaker 1: National Basketball League the NBL have formed a consortium to

277
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:40,439
Speaker 1: acquire a majority interest in the WNBL following the completion

278
00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:42,280
Speaker 1: of the twenty twenty four to twenty five season.

279
00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:44,320
Speaker 2: Lots of acronym sare what Yeah, thank you.

280
00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:48,480
Speaker 1: Basketball Australia will maintain a minority interest in the league.

281
00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:51,320
Speaker 1: According to ESPN, the deal will see the consortium acquire

282
00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:55,480
Speaker 1: approximately seventy five percent of the WNBL. That's definitely a

283
00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:58,640
Speaker 1: majority share and some big decision making power good math.

284
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:03,600
Speaker 1: Robin denm found out of the WCGS, said, women's basketball

285
00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:06,520
Speaker 1: is in Australia, has a phenomenal history and an even

286
00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:09,360
Speaker 1: brighter future. We are excited to be a major part

287
00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:11,560
Speaker 1: of the syndicate that will guide the future direction as

288
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:14,440
Speaker 1: well as provide the right level of support and investment

289
00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:17,400
Speaker 1: needed in the sport for decades to come. There is

290
00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:19,920
Speaker 1: much work to be done to transform the league into

291
00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:22,840
Speaker 1: a platform that are amazing female players, clubs, fans and

292
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:27,880
Speaker 1: all involved richly deserve. Robin is also the current TESLA chair.

293
00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:32,240
Speaker 1: Earlier in twenty twenty four, WCG assumed the majority ownership

294
00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:35,400
Speaker 1: share of Hoops Capital so Hoops is the owner of

295
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:38,000
Speaker 1: Sidney Kings and the Sydney Flames, and under the new

296
00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:41,160
Speaker 1: ownership structure, the consortium will take control of the league

297
00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:44,840
Speaker 1: with the NBL to operate the WNBL from April tecod

298
00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:49,600
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five. So Larry Kesselman is the NBL owner

299
00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:52,200
Speaker 1: and he said we are proud to be part of

300
00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:54,520
Speaker 1: a group that will now have an opportunity to rethink

301
00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:57,280
Speaker 1: what the best version of the WNBL can look like

302
00:14:57,400 --> 00:14:59,680
Speaker 1: and set the direction for the future as we did

303
00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:03,120
Speaker 1: for them NBL. We believe this is a truly exciting

304
00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:06,280
Speaker 1: proposition for us, the players, the fans, and everyone involved.

305
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:10,440
Speaker 1: I think this is a great step. I think we've

306
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:13,960
Speaker 1: seen the success of the WNBA. I think it's often

307
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:16,480
Speaker 1: hard to compare American sport to Australians, but we know

308
00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:18,560
Speaker 1: that in terms of population and things like that, it's

309
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:22,240
Speaker 1: tricky to compete. But I think what Larry and the

310
00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:25,800
Speaker 1: owners have done with the redirection of the NBL has

311
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:29,560
Speaker 1: been exceptional compared to it's had a real lull and

312
00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:33,080
Speaker 1: plateau over prior years. I think if they can bring

313
00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:35,880
Speaker 1: that into the WNBL, these are some of the best

314
00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:38,760
Speaker 1: athletes in the world who deserve a world class league

315
00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:39,800
Speaker 1: and have not been getting that.

316
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:42,400
Speaker 2: And I think what's interesting here is, you know, we've

317
00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:44,440
Speaker 2: seen this, like you said, in a few different sports,

318
00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:49,520
Speaker 2: where you know, someone comes in and runs the men's

319
00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:52,240
Speaker 2: and women's competition together. I think that's got to be

320
00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:54,440
Speaker 2: the best way. You've got to treat them the same,

321
00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:56,360
Speaker 2: give them the same opportunities, and I hope that's what

322
00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:59,200
Speaker 2: comes of this, of this purchase, and I think what

323
00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:03,680
Speaker 2: their WNBL actually offers is I think we saw Mercedes

324
00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:06,600
Speaker 2: Russel come over here because it runs at a different times.

325
00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:09,560
Speaker 2: In WNBA, we could almost be that second competition of choice,

326
00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:11,480
Speaker 2: rather than having to go to Russia or China or

327
00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:16,120
Speaker 2: somewhere not as attractive as beautiful Australia. We could actually

328
00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:17,720
Speaker 2: see a lot of these American players coming down to

329
00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:19,880
Speaker 2: play in the WNBL if we really invest in it.

330
00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:22,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure. I think I do think the salaries

331
00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:24,160
Speaker 1: are going to need to jump a lot in order

332
00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:27,600
Speaker 1: for them to be I mean, test Sunshine, Sunshine help

333
00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:28,320
Speaker 1: everyone gets.

334
00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:33,440
Speaker 2: A free test life great surely sold in some surfing news.

335
00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:36,760
Speaker 2: In at Brazil, eighteen year old American Caitlin Simmers has

336
00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:39,880
Speaker 2: claimed victory at the Viva Rio Pro. She beat fellow

337
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:43,440
Speaker 2: American Sawyer Limblade convincingly in the final, finishing with a

338
00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:47,080
Speaker 2: combined score of fifteen point five. Ossie Olympic hopeful Mollypiclin

339
00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:50,280
Speaker 2: was eliminated by Gabby Bryan in the quarter finals. So

340
00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:51,680
Speaker 2: just a quick little how.

341
00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:54,680
Speaker 1: To Yeah, give us an because surfing in the Olympics,

342
00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:57,160
Speaker 1: they're going to be in Tahiti. Can I wait, how

343
00:16:57,360 --> 00:16:58,280
Speaker 1: it's going to beautiful?

344
00:16:58,280 --> 00:16:59,000
Speaker 2: It's going to be amazing.

345
00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:01,520
Speaker 1: But for people who might not watch surfing regularly and

346
00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:03,360
Speaker 1: who are going to be engaged in the Olympics and

347
00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:06,240
Speaker 1: hopefully forever more, give us a breakdown of how the

348
00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:08,360
Speaker 1: scoring and the situations actually work.

349
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:10,560
Speaker 2: All right, So, according to the World's Surf League, here

350
00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:12,680
Speaker 2: are a few little guidelines slash rules. So a panel

351
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:17,720
Speaker 2: of judges to sex sex. The surfers performances peat times

352
00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:20,480
Speaker 2: very I think normally they're kind of thirty minutes. You

353
00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:22,879
Speaker 2: usually have two surfers in the water at once, surfing

354
00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:25,560
Speaker 2: against each other. A wave is scored on a scale

355
00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:28,000
Speaker 2: of one to ten, and they use two decimal places.

356
00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:30,320
Speaker 2: Surfers lock in their two highest scoring waves, so you

357
00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:33,439
Speaker 2: can go out there and catch fifteen waves. They just

358
00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:36,320
Speaker 2: take your two highest scoring waves from those fifteen. For

359
00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:39,439
Speaker 2: each ride, the highest and lower scores are discounted and

360
00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:41,600
Speaker 2: the surfer is awarded the average of the remaining three scores.

361
00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:44,480
Speaker 2: So you'll have five judges. Oh yeah, So if you

362
00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:47,720
Speaker 2: have five judges and you get eight eight, seven, six

363
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:53,200
Speaker 2: or nine seven, they'll take the three eights. Yes, go there, Yeah,

364
00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:56,199
Speaker 2: all the average of the three eights. There are no

365
00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:57,960
Speaker 2: limits the number of waves that can be written, so

366
00:17:57,960 --> 00:17:59,960
Speaker 2: as I said, you can go ham. A perfect tea

367
00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:02,000
Speaker 2: is when a surfer gets to tell score. Obviously, of

368
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:03,920
Speaker 2: twenty points, a few of them have happened and they're

369
00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:06,280
Speaker 2: pretty amazing, and I'm hoping there'll be one at Chapoo.

370
00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:08,199
Speaker 1: So there are a.

371
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:10,320
Speaker 2: Couple of things that surfers can do to increase their

372
00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:14,120
Speaker 2: chances of getting that magical perfect heat. So the way

373
00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:16,520
Speaker 2: the judges kind of score is that it's based on

374
00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:20,640
Speaker 2: commitment and degree of difficulty. So those commitment in regards

375
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:22,960
Speaker 2: to pulling into the heavier sections and things like that,

376
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:26,040
Speaker 2: like where the wave is the biggest, scariest, gnarliest. That

377
00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:31,240
Speaker 2: was a lot of lingo there. Obviously, they award innovative

378
00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:35,880
Speaker 2: and progressive maneuvers, combination of major maneuvers and the variety

379
00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:38,200
Speaker 2: of maneuvers. And I think one of the most important

380
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:40,640
Speaker 2: things is the speed, the power and the flow. It's

381
00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:41,679
Speaker 2: how it's all put together.

382
00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:44,080
Speaker 1: I love how your body language changed as you said

383
00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:47,280
Speaker 1: that you're the turtle from Finding Nemo.

384
00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:49,919
Speaker 2: I am the turtle, dude.

385
00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:52,640
Speaker 1: That's a great breakdown.

386
00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:55,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, if you haven't watched any surfing. I think during

387
00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:58,200
Speaker 2: the Olympics it would be a great time to tune

388
00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:00,200
Speaker 2: in because it will be in one of them most

389
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:04,000
Speaker 2: beautiful and heaviest waves of consequences on the planet.

390
00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:05,920
Speaker 1: Have we had our team confirmed?

391
00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:09,800
Speaker 2: Ozzie Surface, Yes, it's Tyler and Molly love that.

392
00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:14,560
Speaker 1: In basketball, Australia's under eighteen gems have gone back to

393
00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:17,240
Speaker 1: back with an incredible stand against China in the final

394
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:20,639
Speaker 1: of the Fever Under eighteen Women's Asia Cup, outlasting the

395
00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:24,600
Speaker 1: host nation ninety six to seventy nine. Saffron Shiels rounded

396
00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:28,160
Speaker 1: out an amazing tournament with thirty one points and fifteen rebounds.

397
00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:31,760
Speaker 1: Monique Babongi had twenty three points and Monique Williams had twelve.

398
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:34,639
Speaker 1: Australia Saffron Shiels and Lara Somfi were named in the

399
00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:40,399
Speaker 1: tournament All Star five, whilst China's seven foot three Star

400
00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:45,160
Speaker 1: Zu Jang was named tournament MVP and despite her team's lost,

401
00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:48,720
Speaker 1: clocked up forty two points and fourteen rebounds in the final.

402
00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:51,080
Speaker 2: So we've all seen the footage going around on Instagram.

403
00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:53,200
Speaker 1: How everyone has we need to post it?

404
00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:55,919
Speaker 2: She is tall, seven foot three.

405
00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:59,320
Speaker 1: She's huge and good luck to anyone trying to guide

406
00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:00,639
Speaker 1: her in the paint. It's hopeless.

407
00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:03,359
Speaker 2: I've got a question for you under eighteens. You might

408
00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:05,760
Speaker 2: not know this, but you did play basketball for someone.

409
00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:10,000
Speaker 2: Is it is that ring lower?

410
00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:10,719
Speaker 1: No?

411
00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:14,440
Speaker 2: The normal? My god, she was literally just putting it in.

412
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:17,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, because she's that close to the ring.

413
00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:18,080
Speaker 2: That is madness.

414
00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:19,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's impossible with.

415
00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:21,880
Speaker 2: Us, So we still want. She scored forty two points

416
00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:22,560
Speaker 2: and we still want.

417
00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:24,879
Speaker 1: Yeah. I love that. Other girls, I think you just

418
00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:27,359
Speaker 1: got to be fast in transition against someone like her.

419
00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:29,040
Speaker 2: And just except that she's going to score a lot

420
00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:31,919
Speaker 2: of points. Yeah, make sure you do the same on

421
00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:32,440
Speaker 2: the other end.

422
00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:35,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, very true. Let's take a look at the key story.

423
00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:39,600
Speaker 2: So let's talk about merch. I love talking about merch.

424
00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:42,439
Speaker 2: I love we love merch, well, we do, no, we do.

425
00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:45,840
Speaker 2: We absolutely love merch. Sometimes it stresses me out a bit,

426
00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:48,119
Speaker 2: and you're telling me what to do with with our merch.

427
00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:52,040
Speaker 2: That's a whole nother story. Let's talk about actual available merch,

428
00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:53,840
Speaker 2: and it to be fair when we talk about merch.

429
00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:56,040
Speaker 2: It's probably one of the reasons why we do love

430
00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:58,800
Speaker 2: providing merch to the people, because you can't get it

431
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:02,560
Speaker 2: You study by Klana and the Sports Innovation Labbets found

432
00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:05,080
Speaker 2: that the value of the women's sports merchandise market is

433
00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:07,600
Speaker 2: worth four billion US dollars every single.

434
00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:09,439
Speaker 1: Year investing women's sport people.

435
00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:12,800
Speaker 2: The new study, titled rep Her Revealing the Unmet Demand

436
00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:16,680
Speaker 2: for Women's Sports Merchandise, looked at merchandise by using surveys

437
00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:20,679
Speaker 2: of fans and KLANA purchasing trends, as well as analysis

438
00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:25,200
Speaker 2: of transaction data products in stores and Google trends. Megan Goki,

439
00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:28,680
Speaker 2: head of B two C KLANA Marketing, What.

440
00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:32,240
Speaker 1: Is B two C stand for Business and Consumer?

441
00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:32,800
Speaker 2: Yeah?

442
00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:34,399
Speaker 1: Good, me think you're.

443
00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:37,520
Speaker 2: So good at anagrams? North American UK spoke UK stands

444
00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:41,639
Speaker 2: for the United Kingdom, spoke to the results. Just in

445
00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:43,080
Speaker 2: case anyone we are under.

446
00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:45,440
Speaker 1: On par with our intelligence.

447
00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:48,720
Speaker 2: Spoke to the results when she said, we believe if

448
00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:51,480
Speaker 2: fans can rep their favorite teams and athletes, then it

449
00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:53,600
Speaker 2: will be hard to slow the progress athletes are making

450
00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:56,159
Speaker 2: on the court, ice, and wherever they play. If you

451
00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:58,120
Speaker 2: can see it, you can play it, then you can

452
00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:01,000
Speaker 2: certainly want to be it. Wearing your team your athlete

453
00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:03,600
Speaker 2: is all about driving home that pride and that association

454
00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:06,200
Speaker 2: that comes with fandom. I love it.

455
00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:10,960
Speaker 1: If four billion be with a B dollars wasn't enough.

456
00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:14,639
Speaker 1: Here are some other insane stats that were the report uncovered.

457
00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:17,560
Speaker 1: Sixty percent of women's sports fans have wanted to buy

458
00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:20,840
Speaker 1: merchandise but couldn't because of a lack of inventory. Present

459
00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:25,320
Speaker 1: bears raising and that's happened multiple times, right, Absolutely, seventy

460
00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:27,760
Speaker 1: nine percent of fans so they would buy more women's

461
00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:31,560
Speaker 1: sports merchandise if it was available. Tick for every nine

462
00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:35,359
Speaker 1: pieces of merchandise for men's sport, there's one for women's

463
00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:40,040
Speaker 1: sports nine to one. Stupid not enough. There is a

464
00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:45,320
Speaker 1: particularly glaring disparity in hats, with sixty six times more

465
00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:47,800
Speaker 1: NBA options than WNBA OFFERINGKSP.

466
00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:51,880
Speaker 2: He is a very keen hat wearer, also totally aware.

467
00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:55,040
Speaker 1: Of that prime target of studying under managers.

468
00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:56,640
Speaker 2: Can't we rather do my hair a lot? Yeah?

469
00:22:56,680 --> 00:23:00,919
Speaker 1: Fair enough? Sixty seven percent have bought women's sports without

470
00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:04,760
Speaker 1: attending a live sporting event. That number is mind blowing.

471
00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:07,080
Speaker 2: That's an interesting step because that is one that speaks

472
00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:10,840
Speaker 2: to the willingness for for women's sports fan to invest

473
00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:13,520
Speaker 2: even if they can't get to the game like they're

474
00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:17,560
Speaker 2: Actually there's an altruistic kind of need to and understanding

475
00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:19,359
Speaker 2: that they want to grow the game and here's a

476
00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:22,119
Speaker 2: way that they can actually tangibly do it, which I

477
00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:24,240
Speaker 2: think is you know, and then we're hamstrung because we

478
00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:25,679
Speaker 2: can't ridiculous.

479
00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:30,719
Speaker 1: Gina Waldhorn, Sports Innovation Labs chief marketing officer. What's that

480
00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:34,359
Speaker 1: one CMO? We all knew, she said, because of the

481
00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:37,400
Speaker 1: sold our inventory that there was more demand than supply.

482
00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:40,840
Speaker 1: But the just how much that sixty percent went to

483
00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:43,879
Speaker 1: buy and couldn't I just felt was astronomical. I can't

484
00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:48,560
Speaker 1: think of another industry that wouldn't resolve that immediately. Bang on, Gina, Gina,

485
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:51,480
Speaker 1: how good. The report also determined that given the lack

486
00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:54,240
Speaker 1: of teams across the leagues and the geographical restrictions that

487
00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:57,880
Speaker 1: currently exist within women's professional sports, women's sports fans rely

488
00:23:57,960 --> 00:24:01,120
Speaker 1: on merchandise purchasing off best onto it, but they can't

489
00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:04,080
Speaker 1: support their favorite team and athletes in real life exactly.

490
00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:11,679
Speaker 2: So yeah, that's what I said. Angelo Bregerio, thank you.

491
00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:14,960
Speaker 2: Angela Rougerio, the Hall of Fame ice hockey player who

492
00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:18,080
Speaker 2: is co founder of Sports Innovasion Lab, told USA Today's Sports,

493
00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:20,600
Speaker 2: there's a big market here and like everything else in

494
00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:25,080
Speaker 2: women's sport, it has been undeserved, misunderstood, and there's things

495
00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:27,399
Speaker 2: we can do to fix it very easily. You're a

496
00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:30,439
Speaker 2: walking bill billboard when you have a jersey on that

497
00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:33,040
Speaker 2: is free marketing, so you're only leaving money on the table.

498
00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:35,240
Speaker 2: I think that's a really important one that if I

499
00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:40,040
Speaker 2: was a partner of a women's sporting team, I'd be

500
00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:42,400
Speaker 2: demanding they actually produce more merchandise.

501
00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:45,080
Speaker 1: Are you hinting to me about t FAPs merch.

502
00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:52,080
Speaker 2: Maybe, but honestly, like I mean, obviously we've spoken a

503
00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:53,760
Speaker 2: lot this year about Kate and Clark. She's an easy

504
00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:58,720
Speaker 2: example to speak to. Her jersey singlet was made available

505
00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:02,120
Speaker 2: but not actually going to be ready until August.

506
00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:06,000
Speaker 1: How So, if I'm the rushing that through.

507
00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:09,239
Speaker 2: If I'm the majority any of the sponsors on the

508
00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:12,800
Speaker 2: Indiana Fever singler right now, I'd be furious at Indiana

509
00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:14,680
Speaker 2: Fever and being like, hang on, there could be people

510
00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:18,960
Speaker 2: walking around America the world wearing our name and because

511
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:22,400
Speaker 2: you haven't produced enough merch it's not happening.

512
00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:25,439
Speaker 1: And then next year, so say they had actually done

513
00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:27,760
Speaker 1: a good job of getting the jerseys out. Next year,

514
00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:29,800
Speaker 1: when the commercial partners are going to sign the deals

515
00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:34,040
Speaker 1: with those sponsors, and they're like, we've got this many thousands,

516
00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:36,879
Speaker 1: tenssands hundreds of thousands of people wearing this jersey with

517
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:38,959
Speaker 1: your branding on it. This is how much it's going

518
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:41,159
Speaker 1: to cost you this year to sponsor the team.

519
00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:42,520
Speaker 2: Great bargaining tool.

520
00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:43,080
Speaker 1: Thank you.

521
00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:44,040
Speaker 2: You should work in marketing.

522
00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:44,880
Speaker 1: Thank you so much.

523
00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:47,800
Speaker 2: Angela want to say, fans are starved for options and

524
00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:50,280
Speaker 2: are willing and able to spend with companies that show

525
00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:53,680
Speaker 2: up authentically as part of the community. Fans sniff out

526
00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:56,400
Speaker 2: bad actors that shrink and pink their offerings from men's

527
00:25:56,440 --> 00:25:59,359
Speaker 2: to women's to be successful, truly invest and you'll be

528
00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:03,960
Speaker 2: rewarded by the community. I love that Forbes report that

529
00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:06,439
Speaker 2: such low stock for such high demand makes it really

530
00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:10,000
Speaker 2: difficult to actually calculate demand. I think that's really important.

531
00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:13,680
Speaker 2: So you actually don't know. This could be even greater

532
00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:16,160
Speaker 2: than what it is. They also said the same goes

533
00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:19,040
Speaker 2: with viewership. If fans are only presented with limited watching options,

534
00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:22,640
Speaker 2: the outcomes are not a true reflection of the demand.

535
00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:25,520
Speaker 1: So true, Let's take a look what to.

536
00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:31,200
Speaker 2: Watch Wimbledon's backs. All of the nighttime sports are on

537
00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:33,679
Speaker 2: at the moment. It's very fun and it's just going

538
00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:38,359
Speaker 2: to continue into the Olympics. Exhausting, very exhausting. The All

539
00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:41,119
Speaker 2: England Tennis Club is back. With just twelve days between

540
00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:42,840
Speaker 2: the final and the start of the Olympics, it's going

541
00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:46,000
Speaker 2: to be a very interesting one. The resurgent Iya Tomlonovich

542
00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:48,680
Speaker 2: is among three Australians in the women's singles main draw

543
