Oregon's Sports Bra, a pub for women's sports fans, plans national expansion as interest booms

The Sports Bra is a pub where women’s sports are celebrated — and the only thing on TV.

Packed and buzzing with activity, the bar has successfully tapped into a meteoric rise of interest in women’s sports, embodied most recently by the frenzy over University of Iowa basketball phenomenon Caitlin Clark’s records-smashing feats.

Just two years after opening, the bar announced plans this week to go nationwide through a franchise model.

“Things have happened at light speed compared to what my forecast was,” founder and CEO Jenny Nguyen told The Associated Press. “This tiny spot that I built for my friends and I to watch games and give female athletes their flowers means so much more. And not just to me, but to a lot of people.”

I’m not a sports person, but I’ve always found women’s sports to have better fundamentals and less showboating.

abcde_fz,

Totally agree. PWHL Hockey is fantastic in that regard. So fast!
