This is a sobering, emotional block that dives into the stories behind the scoreboard and highlights how the rules of sport reflect the struggles of society. Witness the cost of playing the game: an athlete and his family navigate life after a traumatic brain injury, a trans youth fights to take the soccer field, an Iranian fencer finds herself in the middle of politics over competition, and a boxer vanishes in the wake of protest.
