S02E25: Idolisation in Sports | Violence & abuse in sports | Impact of being in the limelight
Manage episode 320256541 series 2826953
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.
