Description

ROS Presents is home to Religion of Sports’ most ambitious and engaging audio storytelling, existing at the intersection of sports and society.

We are now in our fourth season with Counterattack, which follows the journey of Sinead Farrelly from hometown soccer star to league whistleblower to comeback kid. Sinead’s experiences in professional soccer and her brave decision to speak out ignited the revolution taking place in professional women’s soccer today. She and her fellow players are continuing a long tradition of sisterhood in women’s soccer. They are changing the game and forging a new path forward—for themselves, for their league, and for the next generation of little girls with big soccer dreams.

Our first season, Crushed, presented a fresh take on legacy the home run race of ’98 and baseball’s steroid era.

Season 2, the award-winning series False Idol, examined the murder of Reeva Steenkamp and the myths surrounding her killer, Oscar Pistorius.

Season 3, Roughhousing, took listeners inside America’s locker rooms to explore hazing in high school sports today — why we do it, what it says about us, and whether change is possible.

I'm just not sure what the motives are for the creation of this podcast which picks away at his achievements and pounds on the errors of poor Oscar Pistorius. I'm not going to listen to any more of it because it's very depressing and sheds no light on what happened to him.

Really enjoying the reporting on the Oscar Pistorius saga. I had no idea it had so many layers. Thank you for sharing the stories of both Reeva and Samantha Taylor.

not a big fan of this one. Read "The Game" by Jon Pessah for a better retelling of how/why the steroid era happened.
