The latest SportsPro Podcast sees Eoin Connolly joined by digital editor Tom Bassam to roundup some of the big stories in the sports industry over the last week.
Topics on the agenda include the ongoing political and commercial fallout from Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, with a particular focus on how international governing bodies are responding to the rapidly escalating crisis. There’s also a look at Major League Baseball’s (MLB) continuing work stoppage and an examination of the evolving landscape in women’s sport as individuals and organisations across the globe marked another International Women’s Day (IWD) earlier this week.
The episode then looks at a major investment in David Beckham’s business ventures, before discussion turns to Shane Warne, the legendary Australian cricketer whose sudden passing last week at the age of 52 prompted heartfelt tributes from across the world of sports and entertainment.
