In episode 7 of Sportspages, Simon Clancy is joined by Australian writer Anna Krien to talk about her 2014 William Hill Sports Book of the Year award winner Night Games, which investigates the macho sexual culture of Aussie Rules football, misogyny, the nature of sexual assault and one player’s trial for rape. Beginning with that court case and journeying through locker room culture and consent, Krien looks at the connection between sexual assaults on women perpetrated by professional sportsmen and discusses whether that emanates from the same precious yet insecure, chemistry of teamwork that produces transcendental moments on the field.
