Sam Newman’s vile podcast rant targets women, LGBTQIA+ and Indigenous communities

Sam Newman’s vile podcast rant targets women, LGBTQIA+ and Indigenous communities
Former AFL player Sam Newman has launched into a vile, unhinged attack on the LGBTQIA+ community, Indigenous Australians, and women during a recent episode of his podcast, You Cannot Be Serious.
He was joined by fellow ex-footballer Wayne Carey, who largely echoed and enabled the harmful rhetoric despite what has been shown on social media.
In the episode, Newman railed against the AFL’s Pride Round, labelled the AFLW a “lesbian league”, mocked Welcome to Country ceremonies, misgendered a prominent transgender athlete, and claimed Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) roles were giving unqualified women jobs.
“Why are we celebrating lesbians?” Newman asked during one of many rants about the Pride Round.
He repeatedly claimed that Pride and inclusion initiatives were being “rammed down our throats,” and compared teachers displaying Pride flags to “radicalising” children.
At one point, he likened the Allan Government to Pol Pot.
Newman also used derogatory slurs such as “slugs”, “pieces of snot”, and “treacherous” to describe people supporting inclusion.
At the same time, Carey offered little pushback, most of the time agreeing with or laughing along.
The podcast spirals into a barrage of misogyny and transphobia.
Newman mocks women’s voices in commentary, questions whether women are “fit” to umpire AFL games, and suggests men might fake being transgender to get into the women’s league — a dangerous, widely debunked narrative that contributes to real-world harm.
Newman also misgenders trans footballer Hannah Mouncey, with Carey offering a brief correction, before the conversation devolves again.
Later, they dismiss the significance of wheelchair rugby, with Newman and Carey comparing it to “dodgem cars”.

Pride Round is about visibility because systemic discrimination still exists.
What Newman clearly fails to grasp is why Pride Round and other inclusion initiatives exist in the first place.
The AFL’s Pride Round is more than a rainbow jersey. It’s a public commitment to diversity, belonging, and the ongoing work of making sport safer and more inclusive for LGBTQIA+ people.
For decades, queer players and fans have faced exclusion, slurs, and invisibility in sport. Pride Round is one small step toward reversing that. The AFL also donates royalties from Pride merch to LGBTQIA+ support organisations, funding work that can literally save lives.
Systemic discrimination against LGBTQIA+ and First Nations people is still deeply entrenched in Australian institutions — including sport. Visibility matters. Celebration matters. Safe spaces matter.
According to the 2024 Pride in Sport Index, more than half of LGBTQIA+ participants (53%) have witnessed homophobia, biphobia or identity-based vilification in sporting environments. Alarmingly, 40% have experienced it firsthand.
Separate Swinburne University of Technology research found that three-in-four gay men witness homophobia and 63 per cent of gay men experience it first-hand.
These numbers speak volumes. Discrimination is still widespread across Australian sport, and it’s why targeted efforts to foster inclusion and respect aren’t just important, they’re urgent.
Even where participation is high, emotional safety isn’t. And that’s exactly why Pride Rounds matter.
Those stats don’t reflect a “radical agenda”.
They reflect the daily reality of exclusion and the need for systemic change.

This isn’t ‘political correctness’, it’s about people.
What Newman and Carey call “ramming things down our throats” is actually just recognising that marginalised people exist and deserve dignity.
Calling for more heterosexual representation in the AFL, as if it were under threat, is not only absurd, it erases the very real violence queer and Indigenous people face for existing.
Sport doesn’t need more airtime for white, cisgender, straight men with mics and no accountability.
It needs leaders who understand inclusion is not a threat — it’s a future.
So with that, let’s never listen to Sam Newman again.

Sam Newman: Chatty communication, tight coupling
“A loosely coupled service knows as little as it needs to about the services with which it collaborates. This also means we probably want to limit the number of different types of calls from one service to another, because beyond the potential performance problem, chatty communication can lead to tight coupling.”

Sam Newman: Bridge building
“If bridge building were like programming, halfway through we’d find out that the far bank was now 50 meters farther out, that it was actually mud rather than granite, and that rather than building a footbridge we were instead building a road bridge.”
