The Sports Bra, the first US bar focused on women's sports, expanding to four more cities

The Sports Bra, the first sports bar in the US dedicated to women's sports, is set to expand with new locations in Boston, Indianapolis, Las Vegas, and St. Louis. The original Sports Bra, located in Portland, Oregon, was founded in April 2022 by entrepreneur Jenny Nguyen. She sought to establish a venue that celebrates women and girls in sports. Since its launch, other women-centered sports bars have emerged across the country. They include The 99ers Sports Bar in Denver, Rough & Tumble in Seattle, and Title 9 Sports Grill in Phoenix. 'The first four franchises of The Sports Bra will join our OG Portland location to become the 'Starting Five,'' Nguyen said. 'Together, we're serving fans nationwide who are hungry for spaces that not only champion women's sports, but create a community where everyone feels like they belong. There is no better moment than this to open these places.' In 2024, Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian's 776 Foundation invested in The Sports Bra with the intention of expanding through franchising. Potential investors were invited to apply for franchises in October. All of the new locations will be locally owned and operated and will highlight local and women-owned beverage and food products. According to The Sports Bra's website, the menu includes items such as a $17 'Bra-L-T' sandwich and a $14 green goddess salad. The bar's $14 signature cocktails include Title IX (bourbon, peach liqueur and mint), Cherry Picker (gin, cherry juice, lemon juice, simple syrup and egg white), and Pickle Ball (dry gin, dry vermouth and pickle juice). Sportico reported that the four new franchises were being asked to pay a $55,000 fee, and up to $834,000 in start-up costs including training expenses, leases and insurance. Each franchise would be asked to hand over 8 per cent of their gross revenue each year, once they were up and running. Sportico reported that the Portland Sports Bra grossed an average of $1.086 million revenue the past two years. About 80 per cent of that came from food and alcohol, with the balance from events, merchandise and non-alcoholic drinks.

‘Buffy the Vampire Slayer' revival is moving forward on Hulu — and I really wish it wasn't

RIP beepers. That was my first thought when Sarah Michelle Gellar recently announced the "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" revival on Hulu. Then came the existential dread. Don't get me wrong — my "Buffy" obsession runs deep. I even spent my 21st birthday meeting David Boreanaz and James Marsters at a convention instead of gambling in Atlantic City. Every year, I queue up season 2's 'Surprise' exactly 17 minutes and 50 seconds before midnight on my birthday, just so Willow's 'It's happy birthday, Buffy!' hits right on time. "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" defined my childhood (and let's be real, my adulthood) as much as it did the '90s. But to paraphrase a certain angsty, bottle-blonde vamp: Let it rest in peace. "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" gave us a beautiful ending (spoiler alert for anyone over 20 years late to the party). Both Buffy and fans bid farewell to Sunnydale and the Hellmouth after the Scooby Gang took on their most insidious and oldest adversary yet. 'Chosen' marks the end of Buffy's coming-of-age arc, and frankly, we don't need to see what she's up to decades later. Our Slayer doesn't get a happy ending with either of her fanged suitors, Angel and Spike, but both receive powerful goodbyes honoring the part they played in making Buffy who she is. Ultimately, she departs with the weight of the world no longer solely on her shoulders as she enters the next era of her life off-screen. Yet it wasn't Buffy who closed out the show. Love Dawn or hate her, the final line comes from Buffy's sister asking, 'What are we going to do now?' Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. Well, apparently, we're going to revive the show two decades later. Though the reboot was in the works long before the tragic death of Michelle Trachtenberg, sullying that ending feels even more wrong now. Gellar just confirmed that the show will pay homage to Trachtenberg, but the best way to honor her legacy is to leave that ending be. I'm no Dawn fan, but Buffy died for her sister, and the inevitability of killing Dawn off-screen leaves a sour taste in my mouth. Yes, life went on after the credits rolled, but we don't need to see it. The awful Buffy comic books make that abundantly clear (did anyone ask for Troll Dawn and Xander to hook up?). Activating the potential slayers was a powerful story arc, but it also offered a natural conclusion to Buffy's Chosen One journey. I don't want to know if Buffy is married, divorced, widowed or has kids. We don't need to know that — because that's not the story we tuned into every week for seven years. Those details are better left to the imagination and AO3. At this point, most "Buffy" fans are probably as sick of love triangles as I am. Yet Spike and Angel helped define the original series. James Marsters and David Boreanaz certainly made the most of the vampiric elixir of youth that Hollywood hides from the rest of us mere mortals, but they're not 20 anymore. Even if they wanted to return, they couldn't — not convincingly — which is one of the biggest reasons a reboot never seemed feasible. With key characters dead, others unavailable and the vampire-aging thing being what it is, the revival already feels like a hollow version of the original. And yeah, I know — 'What's dead doesn't have to stay dead.' But maybe it should. Especially if it's just for the sake of a cash grab. I trust Sarah Michelle Gellar. She's always been fiercely protective of Buffy as a character, and the fact that she's turned down so many revival pitches before makes me think she sees something here. But without most of the core cast, it's hard to imagine this feeling like anything other than a shadow. The original show resonated because of who stood next to Buffy when the world ended, not just the monsters she slayed. Look, Hulu isn't the problem. If "Buffy" has to come back, it's the best place for it. Hulu's track record with smart, emotionally rich genre shows ("The Handmaid's Tale") and even its approach to camp ("The Great") actually lines up with "Buffy's" tone. The platform could support a revival ... but that doesn't mean it should. "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" was lightning in a bottle: sharp writing, iconic one-liners ('I may be dead, but I'm still pretty'), flawed but lovable characters, and emotional stakes that often hit harder than the supernatural ones. At its core, "Buffy" was about found family, love and choosing to fight through darkness together. You can't recreate that with a couple of callbacks. You can't reboot the soul of a show without the people who gave it one. "Buffy" was a product of its time and that's part of what made it work. Set it in the 2020s and you lose the charm, the cheese, the campy magic. We've already lost the Hellmouth; now we're losing the plot. Sure, there may be merit to the new story. And yes, I'll stream it the second it drops and probably hate myself for it. I did it with the "Teen Wolf" movie. I'll do it for "Clueless." And I'll definitely do it for "Buffy." But reviving these quintessential '90s titles — especially when the original ended on such a strong note — risks sullying the legacy for what? One or two seasons of mid content? Nostalgia runs pop culture now, sure. But the hardest thing in this world is to love and let go. The Powers That Be need to be brave and allow Buffy stay in the '90s, where she belongs.

The signs Juan Soto is starting to get his swagger back

Access the Mets beat like never before Join Post Sports+ for exciting subscriber-only features, including real-time texting with Mike Puma about the inside buzz on the Mets. Try it free LOS ANGELES — Juan Soto did a little jig while backpedaling from the batter's box after a pitch multiple times the past couple of nights here, and even better, he also performed half a shuffle. These might be the best signs yet, even better than his three home runs in the past five games, that the real Juan Soto may be back soon. We don't want to jump ahead of ourselves, because he looked like he was back a few weeks ago, and then he fell into a slump worse than ever. But the logic goes like this: If he's feeling good, he'll be shuffling. And if he's feeling good and shuffling, he'll be hitting. 'I didn't even notice,' Soto said when asked about the happy backpedaling move, which seems like a new entry in the Soto repertoire. 'I'm just focusing on my at-bat and trying to do my thing. I'm not trying to show [anybody] up or trying to be dancing at the plate. Whatever I do up there, it just comes out naturally.' The past few days, the Mets version of The Natural is showing signs of the swagger and otherworldly ability that led the Mets to sign him to the richest contract in North American sports history. 'He's getting there,' says a National League scout.
