Kerr was also 57 00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:54,200 Speaker 1: named Player of the Match in the final, and she 58 00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:56,800 Speaker 1: said after receiving the award, I think it's a sign 59 00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:58,920 Speaker 1: of a great team. We didn't have our best game, 60 00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:01,320 Speaker 1: but we pushed through everyone stuck at it and we 61 00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:05,000 Speaker 1: got the win. She said, Pinil Harder did amazing, the 62 00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:07,200 Speaker 1: team did amazing. I'd be wrong to say it was 63 00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:09,440 Speaker 1: all me. I'm just lucky to be the number nine 64 00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:11,880 Speaker 1: in this great team. A lot of people have been 65 00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:15,760 Speaker 1: asking for the backflip celebration. I text my friend and 66 00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:18,640 Speaker 1: said backflip incoming today, So I. 67 00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:21,000 Speaker 2: Could can I ask Kloe when am I going to 68 00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:23,720 Speaker 2: receive the backflip incoming text from you? 69 00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:26,840 Speaker 1: I would get severely in jit if I attempted that 70 00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:28,360 Speaker 1: after kicking a goal in footy. 71 00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:31,800 Speaker 3: All right, I guess we'll let it go. 72 00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:34,880 Speaker 2: The goal on Sunday was Kur's tenth goal in seven 73 00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:38,520 Speaker 2: domestic cup finals, her sixth in consecutive games and fifth 74 00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:41,360 Speaker 2: in four appearances at Wembley, where she has managed to 75 00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:44,400 Speaker 2: lift a trophy each time she has played. So I'm 76 00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:46,880 Speaker 2: thinking maybe we move the World Cup final to Wembley. 77 00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:48,680 Speaker 1: Well, we need to do a social post about that. 78 00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:52,400 Speaker 2: That is some impressive doesn't seem to not win there? 79 00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:55,760 Speaker 2: Perhaps I thought we'd just leave the summary of Kurz 80 00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:59,960 Speaker 2: just awesomeness to Chelsea coach Emma Hayes, who said after 81 00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:03,040 Speaker 2: the final, I've never coached a player like Sam Kerr, 82 00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:06,480 Speaker 2: a player that has such conviction, confidence and courage with 83 00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:09,000 Speaker 2: the way she attacks everything. But what I love about 84 00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:11,360 Speaker 2: Sam is that she's willing to take responsibility at the 85 00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:13,640 Speaker 2: top of the pitch. She can cope with the pressure 86 00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:17,400 Speaker 2: and expectation and is the sweetest human being. So attention 87 00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:20,039 Speaker 2: now for Chelsea and Ker shifts to the final three 88 00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:23,760 Speaker 2: matches of the WSL. They sit one point behind Manchester United, 89 00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:25,880 Speaker 2: who are on top but have played one more match. 90 00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:28,040 Speaker 3: It'll be a huge couple of weeks. 91 00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:32,559 Speaker 2: So Chelsea have matches against west Ham and Arsenal during 92 00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:34,840 Speaker 2: the week and then they need They'll have their final 93 00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:37,839 Speaker 2: match against Reading on the twenty seventh of May. 94 00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:39,440 Speaker 3: Up the Chells. 95 00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:42,360 Speaker 2: I must admit, after watching this morning, and I'm a 96 00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:45,520 Speaker 2: Chelsea fan, there's a part of me that says, well, Sam, 97 00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:47,200 Speaker 2: do you really need to play those next three matches? 98 00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:49,000 Speaker 2: Can we just wrap her up?

The final score was sixty three 176 00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:31,720 Speaker 2: forty six and the Thunderbirds will be looking for their 177 00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:34,880 Speaker 2: sixth win on the Trot when they faced the Vixens 178 00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:36,280 Speaker 2: on Saturday in Melbourne. 179 00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:42,480 Speaker 1: In basketball, the WNBA needs to expand. There are too 180 00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:44,720 Speaker 1: many good players already been cut from teams at this 181 00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:47,520 Speaker 1: stage of the preseason, and one city that is well 182 00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:49,360 Speaker 1: and truly put their hand up to be awarded a 183 00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:53,360 Speaker 1: license is Toronto. On the weekend, an exhibition game between 184 00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:57,480 Speaker 1: the Minnesota Lynx and Chicago Sky was played in front 185 00:08:57,480 --> 00:09:01,120 Speaker 1: of a sold out Scotiabank Arena crowd. Tickets for the 186 00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:05,320 Speaker 1: nineteen eight hundred seat arena sold out the day they 187 00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:08,680 Speaker 1: were made available in March, and the result was almost 188 00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:11,240 Speaker 1: secondary to the event for the records. Guy beat the 189 00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:14,480 Speaker 1: Links eighty two to seventy four. Minnesota Link's head coach 190 00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:17,280 Speaker 1: and general manager Cheryl Reeves said, I think we're going 191 00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:20,040 Speaker 1: to look back on this and say this was really meaningful, 192 00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:22,800 Speaker 1: and hopefully then Toronto comes in at some point and 193 00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:25,199 Speaker 1: hopefully it's a model for other cities that want to 194 00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:29,599 Speaker 1: do the same thing. WNBA Commissioner Kathy Engelbert said, Toronto's 195 00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:31,680 Speaker 1: on a short list of ten cities the league is 196 00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:35,080 Speaker 1: looking for looking out for expansion and at the time 197 00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:38,200 Speaker 1: to add teams is getting closer. It needs to happen. 198 00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:41,520 Speaker 1: Currently there's a maximum of one hundred and forty four. Oh, 199 00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:43,760 Speaker 1: I think this house keeping knocking on my door, but 200 00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:46,920 Speaker 1: I'll just persevere and see how we go. It needs 201 00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:49,599 Speaker 1: to happen. Currently there's a maximum of one hundred and 202 00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:53,200 Speaker 1: forty four roster spots available across twelve teams, and when 203 00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:56,480 Speaker 1: you look at the recent NCAA March Madness tournament, you 204 00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:58,400 Speaker 1: know that those spots are going to be at a 205 00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:01,480 Speaker 1: premium bridget Carl's and from the link set after the match. 206 00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:04,679 Speaker 1: There's a whole lot more talent out there that deserves 207 00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:07,720 Speaker 1: to play in the best league in the world. Expand 208 00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:11,040 Speaker 1: and invest w NBA and partners. I think, Bears, I 209 00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:13,000 Speaker 1: know you're a big follower of the WNBA. This is 210 00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:16,679 Speaker 1: a big discussion this one because there's so much talent 211 00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:18,480 Speaker 1: and we've seen a lot of Ossie talent go over 212 00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:22,600 Speaker 1: there from the WNBL and have had their time. They're 213 00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:23,720 Speaker 1: cut quite short. 214 00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:27,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, I've been keeping a pretty keen eye on some 215 00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:28,240 Speaker 2: of those rosters. 216 00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:37,520 Speaker 1: Hang on, sorry, bears back to your answer. 217 00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:41,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, so I keep it pretty close eye obviously on 218 00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:45,280 Speaker 2: those squad lists at the moment, and especially once with 219 00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:48,400 Speaker 2: the Aussies in them, just hoping that you don't see, 220 00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:52,240 Speaker 2: you know, Kayla George's name in the cut list because 221 00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:54,959 Speaker 2: they when the season starts they only allowed twelve players. 222 00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:57,280 Speaker 3: I just the lists are. 223 00:10:57,160 --> 00:10:59,240 Speaker 2: Too small and there's not enough teams. Like it's it's 224 00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:03,439 Speaker 2: pretty basic, absolutely right. In some more tennis, this is 225 00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:07,840 Speaker 2: quite astounding. I think he's probably the right descriptive for it. 226 00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:11,040 Speaker 2: In twenty twenty three, the Madrid Open is a tennis 227 00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:13,480 Speaker 2: tournament that stands just outside the four Grand Slams. When 228 00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:16,880 Speaker 2: it comes to prestige, it's a pretty big tournament. Unfortunately, 229 00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:19,600 Speaker 2: the recent edition of the tournament was anything but prestigious 230 00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:22,840 Speaker 2: when it comes to equality. The controversy started when the 231 00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:27,160 Speaker 2: ball kids attire was questioned on center court. The ball 232 00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:30,800 Speaker 2: kids on senate court were all female and all kind 233 00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:36,199 Speaker 2: of of the teenage age, I would say, and they 234 00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:40,440 Speaker 2: all wore short skirts. And cropped black tank tops. In 235 00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:43,160 Speaker 2: direct contrast, the arter courts featured regular ball kids, both 236 00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:47,960 Speaker 2: male and female, wearing shorts and polos. So Following some backlash, 237 00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:51,800 Speaker 2: the skirts were swapped for long shorts in last Sunday's final, 238 00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:56,280 Speaker 2: but the crop tops did remain. Pillar Calvo, the spokesperson 239 00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:59,640 Speaker 2: for the Association for Women in Professional Sports, told Spanish 240 00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:04,160 Speaker 2: our let Publico, it's a feminized way of treating girls 241 00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:05,959 Speaker 2: versus guys who don't. 242 00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:06,559 Speaker 3: Dress like that. 243 00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:09,240 Speaker 2: In the end, it is a form of sexist violence 244 00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:13,520 Speaker 2: that is so widespread because people don't even notice it. Well, 245 00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:17,120 Speaker 2: this time it was certainly noticed, and sadly it wasn't 246 00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:20,240 Speaker 2: the only thing the organizers got wrong. The women's doubles 247 00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:24,600 Speaker 2: final between Beatrice Haddad Maya and Sorry hadd Maya played 248 00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:29,439 Speaker 2: with Victoria Azarenka and Jessica Puglia played with Coco Goff 249 00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:33,080 Speaker 2: ended in some pretty bizarre scenes when both winners and 250 00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:37,679 Speaker 2: runners up were prevented from giving acceptance speeches. Again, here 251 00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:40,360 Speaker 2: we go with some amazing female athletes using their own 252 00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:43,040 Speaker 2: profile to speak out and call things out. I love it, 253 00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:46,319 Speaker 2: Goff tweeted wasn't given the chance to speak after the 254 00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:49,640 Speaker 2: final today. Nazarenka added that it was hard to explain 255 00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:51,800 Speaker 2: to Leo that mummy isn't able to say hello to 256 00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:53,000 Speaker 2: him at the trophy ceremony. 257 00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:56,360 Speaker 3: Oh, Sad, I know so, Sad Bukla told the BBC. 258 00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:58,840 Speaker 2: I don't know what century everyone was living in when 259 00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:01,160 Speaker 2: they made that decision, or how they had a conversation 260 00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:03,920 Speaker 2: and decided, Wow, this is a great decision and there's 261 00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:06,360 Speaker 2: going to be no backlash against this. I've never heard 262 00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:08,320 Speaker 2: in my life. We wouldn't be able to speak. It 263 00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:11,560 Speaker 2: was really disappointing. In a lower level final, you would speak. 264 00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:12,760 Speaker 3: It spoke for itself. 265 00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:15,000 Speaker 2: We were upset when it happened and told during the 266 00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:16,800 Speaker 2: trophy semmary we weren't able to speak. 267 00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:18,120 Speaker 3: It kind of proved a point. 268 00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:21,560 Speaker 2: So I think she's talking about the overall kind of 269 00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:27,120 Speaker 2: treatment of the women's game in Madrid. Gerard Sobinian, CEO 270 00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:30,000 Speaker 2: and Tournment tournament organizer of the Madrid Open, set in 271 00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:33,640 Speaker 2: a statement, we sincerely apologize to all the players and 272 00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:36,640 Speaker 2: fans who expect more of the Madrid Open tournament not 273 00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:39,160 Speaker 2: giving our women's doubles finalists the chance to address their 274 00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:41,000 Speaker 2: fans at the end of the match was unacceptable, and 275 00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:46,360 Speaker 2: we've apologized directly to Victoria Beatriz Coco and Jessica as Aarenka. 276 00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:48,960 Speaker 3: I love this.

In NFL, some cool news to come out of 351 00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:40,320 Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills last week they announced that Marissa Figueroa 352 00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:43,080 Speaker 1: has been promoted to the position a full time assistant 353 00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:45,920 Speaker 1: athletic trainer. I've said it before, I'll say it again. 354 00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:48,920 Speaker 1: US titles of things, so they just have so many 355 00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:50,480 Speaker 1: words in them, don't they Yeah? 356 00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:53,000 Speaker 2: Is it full time assistant athletic trainer? Is she a 357 00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:54,520 Speaker 2: physio or an SNC. 358 00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:58,040 Speaker 1: It's a good question because I thought they call physio's 359 00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:01,800 Speaker 1: athletic trainers or are they physical therapists? We need to 360 00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:05,159 Speaker 1: double check that anyway. In the process, she became the 361 00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:07,320 Speaker 1: first woman to become a full time trainer in the 362 00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:13,119 Speaker 1: organization's history.

Said, Marissa is not afraid 365 00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:22,840 Speaker 1: of the moment. She blends in well with our young 366 00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:25,600 Speaker 1: players and with our veterans on the team. She was 367 00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:29,200 Speaker 1: part of the Bill's athletic training staff and medical personnel 368 00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:33,120 Speaker 1: responsible for the life saving, emergency response and continued care 369 00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:37,320 Speaker 1: of safety Dema Hamlin, and she joins the over one 370 00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:41,560 Speaker 1: hundred certified athletic trainers employed by the league's thirty two teams. 371 00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:44,320 Speaker 1: Of that number, only twenty one are women. 372 00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:47,920 Speaker 2: It would only be better if Bill's the Buffalo Bills 373 00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:51,000 Speaker 2: Brandon Bean was the BM and not the GM. 374 00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:52,760 Speaker 3: I don't think that works. 375 00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:54,520 Speaker 1: The Beneral manager. 376 00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:55,600 Speaker 3: The Beneral manager. 377 00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:59,439 Speaker 1: Okay, back to the seriousness, so good.

But yeah, so just being 395 00:19:56,359 --> 00:19:59,040 Speaker 4: playing with the local clubs and things like that. 396 00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:03,639 Speaker 1: Yeah, how did your involvement with the Australian death rugby 397 00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:04,280 Speaker 1: team start? 398 00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:08,080 Speaker 4: So that started? My rugby coach from each Wood he 399 00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:11,320 Speaker 4: contacted me, like he tagged me in something on Facebook 400 00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:15,359 Speaker 4: the death trials, like literally three d eight before the trial, 401 00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:17,280 Speaker 4: and he said you should get down to this. It 402 00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:20,919 Speaker 4: was just twenty minutes from my place in Sydney, and 403 00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:22,840 Speaker 4: I was like, oh sweet, I don't have anything on. 404 00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:25,200 Speaker 4: I'll go and give it a crack. A bit nervous, 405 00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:27,879 Speaker 4: but just went down and had to crack at it. 406 00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:31,600 Speaker 4: But yeah, there's people from all over Australia that came, 407 00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:36,080 Speaker 4: so I was pretty lucky to just head down there. 408 00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:38,480 Speaker 4: But yeah, so I just got involved that way and 409 00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:41,600 Speaker 4: everyone was so welcoming, just loved having new people around. 410 00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:45,240 Speaker 4: And yeah, it's such an awesome like culture I guess 411 00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:48,840 Speaker 4: that they've got going. Yeah, that's really cool. 412 00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:51,200 Speaker 1: And from what I understand, all of the laws are 413 00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:54,160 Speaker 1: the same, but are there anything Is there anything put 414 00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:56,959 Speaker 1: in place that makes it more inclusive and more accessible? 415 00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:02,359 Speaker 4: Yeah, so each team as like an interpreter. So myself, 416 00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:08,439 Speaker 4: I'm just about sixty decibel's death so that's why I 417 00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:10,800 Speaker 4: can hear with their headphones in, push. 418 00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:12,520 Speaker 1: Them in and put the volume all the way up. 419 00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:18,119 Speaker 4: But within the teen there was a whole range of deafness, 420 00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:21,840 Speaker 4: so people who were profoundly deaf and neat could only 421 00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:24,919 Speaker 4: sign to be able to communicate people who are a 422 00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:30,000 Speaker 4: bit less than profound, but still relied heavily on interpreting 423 00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:35,399 Speaker 4: and sign language. So for that inclusiveness, we had, yeah, 424 00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:38,600 Speaker 4: an interpreter come with us to help out and she 425 00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:42,280 Speaker 4: was amazing what she did. Yeah, but it was awesome. 426 00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:47,199 Speaker 4: The opening ceremony, so because it was in Argentina, the 427 00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:52,159 Speaker 4: opening ceremony, they were signing, but it was Argentine and 428 00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:57,600 Speaker 4: sign language, so there was someone oh, your Spanish sign language, 429 00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:02,240 Speaker 4: and our manager he knows Spans, so he was trans 430 00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:06,040 Speaker 4: He also knows sign language, so he was translating from 431 00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:10,520 Speaker 4: Spanish sign language to English. And then all the countries 432 00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:14,160 Speaker 4: that used English were listening to Josh and then they 433 00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:18,400 Speaker 4: would sign back to their countries in their sign language language, 434 00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:21,719 Speaker 4: so like the British Sign language, the Australian Sign language, 435 00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:24,040 Speaker 4: but because we all used the English language, so that 436 00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:25,960 Speaker 4: everyone was sort of relying on Josh. 437 00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:28,879 Speaker 1: What do you think sport as a whole can do 438 00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:32,240 Speaker 1: to make it more inclusive for the deaf community and 439 00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:34,359 Speaker 1: people that might have other disabilities. 440 00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:39,240 Speaker 4: Yeah, it was Sport just has that power to bring 441 00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:42,280 Speaker 4: so many people together like just anywhere. 442 00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:44,720 Speaker 1: And that's just the. 443 00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:48,040 Speaker 4: One, yeah, one thing that I picked up from it, 444 00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:50,359 Speaker 4: like the amount of people that I met from just 445 00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:53,720 Speaker 4: different countries and stuff within the week that we were there. 446 00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:57,840 Speaker 4: Like we all stayed in our army barracks between the 447 00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:00,800 Speaker 4: during the tournament, so we got to know the other 448 00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:04,240 Speaker 4: countries well and stuff, and especially the English team we 449 00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:07,760 Speaker 4: became really like well good friends with and whatnot and 450 00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:11,080 Speaker 4: got along really well with them, and then we had 451 00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:14,680 Speaker 4: to play rugby against them like three days later after 452 00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:17,320 Speaker 4: forming this bond.
