Last week, @1972pub.bsky.social polled the community on whether they should show select men’s sports, and the results are in. ~75% of voters say YES! Do you agree with this decision? 🤔

Co-founders Marlene & Deb explain the context for this decision

🚨EP 107 is LIVE on all platforms! 🔗 in bio.

Just over 4 months into opening @1972pub.bsky.social , owners Debra & Marlene share how they navigate being the first pub in Texas dedicated to showing women’s sports, and the challenges that come with trailblazing in the Austin community.

Stickers from North End Pirates, Moontower Soccer, Fighting Leslies, & The Verdependent.

Looking back at some of the stars I came across last week at MLS All-Star festivities. Responsible for lots of #AustinFC content. Hope they stick.

The visionaries that imagined how a game would look, feel and sound like for 90+ minutes showed up to create the atmosphere Ilie describes here.

We feel part of the result. But we also have that longing for consistent success which we only got a glimpse of in 2022.

But yeah, our fans are top.

Will repost any and all Svatok content

Lobar is less enthused by this fashion statement than I am.

Big fan of “let em know” energy, but also need buddy to score a couple before expressing himself like this.

Full disclosure I will sometimes do this at the pool.

A huge thank you to our listeners, the ones who engage with our posts and the ones who take the time to say “hey” out in the wild!

We do it for this community of footy fans and we appreciate y’all letting us chat more than just Austin FC—on to the next 100! 🙏🏼

MLS player clearance leaders via @FBRef

MLS team clearance leaders via @FBRef

@theverdependent.bsky.social pointed out that BHI has 49 clearances. After looking at FBRef, I saw that Portland’s CB Finn Surman has 57. Austin (194) and Portland (193) are also in the top 4 MLS teams in clearances. #AustinFC

🇬🇭 Ghanaian winger, Osman Bukari in 15 MLS apps has tallied 2G, 3A so far for #AustinFC.

Could our DP be doing more? Sure! But AINT NO WAY we’re talking absolutes about Bukari being the worst winger in club history!! 😭🙅🏻‍♂️
