The Reddit cofounder believes that there’s huge potential for women in sports and is doing his part to popularize it.

Speaking about the same, Ohanian said, “Every single time someone buys the jersey, shows up or tweets about the match, they know they’re pushing something much, much bigger. I’ve learned a lot about online communities over the years—it’s the power of this, all the energy that’s sort of been bottled up for so long. I just love seeing it going in such a positive place. The women deserve this.”
