This episode is about the intersection of the manosphere and sport.There are guys considered part of the manosphere who front explicitly sports-focused enterprises – guys like Pat McAfee and Dave Portnoy,.The big issue when you consider the manosphere though is the influencers you immediately think of when you hear the term ‘manosphere’ - the Andrew Tates, Theo Vonns and Joe Rogans of the world.These are all guys who actively link themselves to sport; Andrew Tate emphasises that he used to be a kickboxer. Joe Rogan, meanwhile, is part of the furniture of UFC broadcasts.When we think about issues connected to sports then, the manosphere is one of the big ones currently.Features contributions from Dr Christopher Finlay, Associate Professor of Communication Studies at Loyola Marymount University, and the award-winning children's author Dr Mimi Thebo, as well as school teachers from across the UK.
