Homophobia in the AFL is back in the spotlight, with star Crows forward Izak Rankine banned for four games for using a homophobic slur against a Collingwood opponent. But Rankine could still play in the AFL grand final if the Adelaide Crows make it. But Rankine is the sixth AFL player to be suspended for a homophobic remark aimed at an opponent in the past 16 months alone, so do bans even work? In this episode of The Briefing, Natarsha Belling is joined by behavioural scientist Erik Denison from Monash University's Faculty of Arts, who argues that bans don’t work and there are serious cultural issues in Australian sporting codes that need urgent action. This episode contains references to suicide and homophobic language. If you or anyone you know needs assistance, contact Lifeline on 13 11 14 or QLife on 1800 184 527.
