Sports bar is dedicated solely to women's sports as the popularity for female sports soars

[FISHHEAD]

A sports bar in Minnesota is attempting to break into an untapped market by featuring women's sports on their premises.

Women's college basketball, Pro Volleyball Federation matches, and other popular female sporting events littered the establishment's walls. The bar, appropriately called A Bar of Their Own in reference to the 1992 Tom Hanks and Geena Davis film about an all-women's baseball league, opened its doors for the first time on Friday, March 1 to immense crowds and overwhelming support.

 

 

"We were expecting it to be busy, no question. This is exceeding any expectations I may have had," said owner Jillian Hiscock, via KMSP Fox 9. Patrons who knew what to expect coming into the bar were blown away at the bar's commitment to women's sports. One customer was quoted, "When I walked in, I was super overwhelmed. I've wanted a space like this for so long, and to finally see it come to fruition, it's exciting."

Lesbo central. They're doing great business, problem is it's not a real bar, only open wed - sun I believe.

Las Vegas Aces Announce Season Tickets Are Sold Out in Apparent WNBA First

 

 Iowa phenom Caitlin Clark announced she will forgo her final season of NCAA eligibility and head to the WNBA at the end of this season.

 

The Indiana Fever, who hold the No. 1 draft pick, are already getting increased ticket demand, and other WNBA teams are cashing in, too.

 

Before fees, the get-in rate for a Chicago Sky game is $25 or less, but when the Fever come to town, the cheapest seat is $320.

The Ohio State/Iowa womens game on NBC was the highest rated college basketball game, men or women since Thanksgiving Day over 10 years ago involving Arizona Wildcats.

Let that sink in.

Women's basketball continues to take major steps in viewership and audience appeal.

On Tuesday, FOX Sports PR shared its ratings for the 2023-24 college hoops regular season and the women's game greatly out-rated the men's in terms of average combined viewers on FOX and FS1.

According to the network this season was the most-watched in the history of the sport with women averaging 436,000 viewers per game (up 66% from 2022-23) and men averaging 346,000 viewers which is up 16% from the previous year.

Women's college basketball is hot, agreed. You have the two SEC teams that don't like each other, the girl on LSU that white people like to root against, the girl on Iowa white people like to root for and black people like to root against. 

However it won't translate to ratings LONGTERM for WNBA. of course wherever Clark goes will see bump. But rest of WNBA is just not likeable enough, compared to college women's hoops, where the girls are more "wholesome" and look more like their daughters. College women's hoops you obviously get the fans of the schools and state pride involved. 

On other hand in WNBA many look like tattoed criminals and you're just not going to get same turnout. A dad willing to bring his daughter to games where the girls look normal, not to a game where the girls look like they should be in a prison yard.

I don't know one soul that watches women's basketball and nor does anybody.  If they were actually popular and profitable then the NBA wouldn't have to fund the WNBA.

Also this doesn't help.  "The future faces of women's basketball need to be black."  Basically a big FU to your girl Caitlin Clarke.  Imagine if a white journalist wrote that baseball needs less black and latinos and to get back to it's roots of white all-stars.

no wonder those scam fanduel and draft kings have endless ADs  attempting to pull in women to wager on fantasy and sports separately from their men.
