A Bar of Their Own sports bar owner reflects on a remarkable year in women’s sports
Description
The year 2024 was defined by many things. Among them? A remarkable, unprecedented year for women's sports. You might be thinking of Caitlin Clark's spectacular effect on college basketball and her WNBA premiere. But there are so many others that had outstanding years, including Simone Biles, Suni Lee and the rest of her Olympic team in Paris this summer, or Minnesota's own Lynx almost clinching that WNBA championship. The WNBA also saw record viewership.
For most women’s sports, a larger mainstream audience started to give women's sports the recognition they've long deserved. Jillian Hiscock has dedicated her career to shining the spotlight on women's sports. She made state history too this year when she opened Minnesota's first ever women's sports bar, called A Bar of Their Own, earlier this spring. She joined MPR News host Nina Moini in studio to talk about the remarkable year.
