They told her no one goes to a bar to watch women’s sports. Jenny Nguyen proved them wrong

Watching games with no sound was among a long list of challenges in watching women’s sports at bars. But this time, it served as a tipping point for Nguyen and ended up launching an entire movement.
With three seconds left on the clock, the score knotted up at 58 — the fifth tie of the fourth quarter — Notre Dame had the ball and a chance to win its first women’s basketball title. The inbound went to Arike Ogunbowale, who muscled through the defense, dribbled twice as she moved down the sideline, and hoisted and sunk a three-pointer to seal the game against Mississippi State on April 1, 2018. Tucked in a corner of a sports bar in Portland, Oregon, Jenny Nguyen and her friends erupted in joy and slapped high-fives while the rest of the patrons looked over in confusion. All the theatrics from the NCAA women’s basketball championship game took place on a TV with no sound. The other two-dozen-plus TVs in the bar were tuned to regular season men’s baseball and basketball games. Watching those dramatic games with no sound was among a long list of challenges in watching women’s sports at bars. But this time, it served as a tipping point for Nguyen and ended up launching an entire movement. “I was frustrated with the situation, and I blurted out, ‘The only way we’re ever going to experience women’s sports in the way it should be is if we had our own place,’” she said.
