Football season is upon us, where cheers can drown the sorrow of a blown 21 point lead and the only warmth you feel is the burning scowl of a rival team’s fan. Football season is also a time where people from all walks of life come together – sometimes it’s good, sometimes it’s bad. All in all, it is an experience paralleled with none other.
So to enhance the good times, support your local black owned businesses and brands. When hosting your own party, support black owned beverage brands like Harlem Brewing, Fou-Dré Vodka, and Bee D’Vine. If you’d prefer to watch the game amongst a crowd, consider sports bars like Atlanta’s J.R Crickets, U-Bar, or Charlotte’s Sports One Bar. Avid fans may also be interested in purchasing t-shirts for your next tail gate from Kenny T’s Screen Printing. In either case, there’s an opportunity for you to support local businesses and support your favorite sports team.
For the Football season, we’ll make it easier to search for black-owned Sports Bars/products, by creating a Quick Pick option called “Sports Bar” in our Mobile App. If your favorite Sports Bar or business isn’t listed, be sure to add it using our Add a Business feature.
