Sports industry undercurrents in 2020, from climate change to the new face of fandom
SportsPro editor at large Eoin Connolly and editorial director Michael Long reconvene for the first podcast of the year to look at some of the trends bubbling under the biggest stories of 2020.
On the agenda: whether recent developments in Australia will inspire a different approach to climate responsibility, how mega-events like Euro 2020 and the Tokyo Olympics will reorder and redefine host cities, what role venture capital will play in organised sport, and how Major League Baseball's tense negotiations with Minor League Baseball have become emblematic of a more stratified industry.
There's also time to discuss how women's sports bodies will seek to maintain momentum, and how sport might react to changing dynamics in fan culture.
