(Credit: Dorothy Wang) PORTLAND, Ore. - Anyone can find a bar that shows men’s sports, but Jenny Nguyen wanted to change that when she opened a bar in Portland, Oregon, that only shows women’s sports."The Sports Bra" opened its doors this month in Northeast Portland with a "mission to make great food and delicious drinks, and provide a space that supports, empowers, and promotes girls and women in sports and in the community.""When I first set out on this journey to open up, I had no idea the impact it would have on so many so quickly," said Nguyen.

Nguyen said some of the recipes will be from women in her family and she plans to source ingredients from women-owned businesses. "The statistics about girls and women dropping out of sports are staggering," she added. "Girls who play sports have higher self-esteem and a more positive body image.

It can star with the viewing, and then expand to how that could grow into a larger movement."Photos show the inside of The Sports Bra.  (Shannon Dupre)The idea for "The Sports Bra" started in April 2018 after Nguyen and a few friends wanted to catch the NCAA Women’s Championship game.
