This episode of Fearless and Fierce examines how racism and bias in officiating impact girls and women in sports, using real-game examples, research findings, and personal stories to show how calls can hurt athletes of color.
We cover statistics on unequal discipline, the emotional and participation consequences for Black and Latina players, and examples from youth, high school, and collegiate play.
Finally, the episode outlines solutions—data tracking, mandatory implicit-bias training, transparent reviews, and community action—urging coaches, parents, and leagues to document, speak up, and demand accountability.
