The background:
For the co -owners Debra Hallum and Marlene Duplessis, the vision was simple.
“To give female athletes and female sports a platform, a place to put them on a pedestal and to arouse the interest and the love of female sports,” said Hallum.
The pair had the idea of visiting other sports bars with a commercial model similar to Portland and Seattle, but they saw nothing here.
“Whenever we wanted to watch a female sports game, we had to ask the bar, the ad to put it. And then every time they put it, there was no sound. Or they would do it , as soon as a male game begins, they were just going to change it, “said Duplessis.
Why you should worry about it:
It will be the first sports advertising dedicated to female sports in Austin.
“It really means a lot because we have a lot of sports bars on the campus, a lot, a couple to whom we have always been. But I think it’s cool that we finally have a bit like that will play one for all Women sports, I suppose.
“Female sports are very physical, very athletic. It is very interesting. It is entertaining. Some are just as fast and wonderful as any man’s sport. And yes, I think it’s right Browing because people are open to this and they see how entertaining and great it can be, “said Hallum.
This is a movement that the owners say they are proud to be a part.
