48.50 - Question of the Week for Drinkwise from James Worland (Haoi, Vietnam)

James asks “As an Aussie living overseas, I’m fascinated by the fishbowl that is Australian sports media. From the outside, it appears there isn’t a big enough volume of sport to satisfy the disproportionate amount of journalists/opinionists.

More often than not minor issues are blown way out of proportion and opinionists end up discussing the opinions of other opinionists rather than anything meaningful related to the sport itself.

Is Aussie sports media too big for the small Aussie sporting scene?”
