The Steele Sports Bar - Our Mission
We want to become the best virtual sports bar for the everyman sports fanatic...
Our Mission
I want The Steele Sports Bar to be the ultimate online hangout for all sports fans.
The best virtual sports bar and community for the everyman sports fan.
Think of this place as you would your favorite sports dive bar. You know, that small, not very sexy, no-thrills, slightly gloomy place that you’ve spent so many unforgettable hours in. It may not be a high-end, flashy rooftop bar in the heart of the city, but it is your safe haven and a place where you can hang out with friends and celebrate the euphoric highs and crushing lows of being a sports fan.
It is a place you automatically go to when you have a significant milestone to mark, be it a new relationship, a promotion at work, an engagement, a baby, or your team finally, finally, winning a playoff game.
It is also a place to go to commiserate and to drown your sorrows. We’ve all been there - a bad day at the office, an ugly breakup or a gut punch of a loss for your team - off we go to our favorite sports dive bar. Our home-from-home, our comfort blanket.
The one place that loves us for who we are. And we love it right back.
And that’s the whole purpose of The Steele Sports Bar. To be your new virtual home-from-home, your comfort blanket, your place to come to when you need to vent after a rough day or after your team has blown a lead in the ninth inning or in the dying seconds of the fourth quarter. We’ve got your back and we’ll have a cold one waiting for you. We’ll also have a beer waiting for when you are in the mood to celebrate. We’re the virtual sports bar for all occasions.
The leading mission for The Steele Sports Bar is to inject some fun back into sports again. After all, the reason why we are all sports obsessed in the first place is because of how fun it is to passionately follow a team to the ends of the earth. How fun it is to be part of a fandom, to belong to something and to really feel connected to others that are just like us. Sports delivers a thrilling, addictive, raw, unforgettable rush that few other things can.
And we want to tap into that.
In a modern world where player power, rising prices at the arena or at the ballpark, cold-blooded, uber-rich owners with very little care for the everyday fan, the slew of ugly, disgusting scandals that rock our beloved sports, lockouts, pure greed and the fact that our sports these days often come infused with a heavy dose of politics, it can be hard to be a sports fanatic sometimes. I’m sure some of you have even questioned your fandom recently.
However, we at The Steele Sports Bar want to strip all that crap away and get back to the root of what makes us love sports so damn much. Sports fandom should be simple and straightforward and, more importantly, FUN! We want to get back to the most enjoyable parts of being a sports fan - the camaraderie with our fellow sports fan, the ability to rip our fellow sports fan, and the pure unadulterated joy when our teams win or when one of our favorite players does something historically great. Nothing beats that feeling.
Sports is like a candy store. It’s full of heavenly goodness and it is a place where you can shut yourself off from the darkness that is the outside world. Look, we live in horrible, horrific, scary times right now and anytime you turn on the news or flick through the news app on your phone (I miss the days when everyone would be reading a newspaper on the Subway as opposed to being glued to their phones and other electronic devices) there is yet more impending gloom. There are a plethora of just downright chilling and petrifying things going on in the world right now and, frankly, it is starting to feel a little overwhelming. There just seems to be no escape from the constant cycle of gut-punching news.
However, we at The Steele Sports Bar understand better than anybody that sports is an escape from the boring grind and the bone-chilling horrors of everyday life. Sports is a happy place for so many of us, a crutch in which we rely on to pull us through, give us hope and provide us with the strength to keep on marching on. No matter what.
We want to lean fully into that here.
We want you to come have fun. We want you to be able to celebrate your fandoms, rejoice over the wins, vent about the losses, unload on that bum on your team you can’t stand (come on, we all have one) and, most importantly, just be part of a wider community where sports and good times are the only things on the menu.
So, grab a cold one and come talk sports with us!
