 | Leveling The Playing Field |
Hey bestie! | ||
| We're reaching out because we have some news. We launched The GIST in 2018 to create a more inclusive sports landscape — one that celebrates diverse voices, builds an accessible fandom, and fights for equal coverage. Together, we've taken on trolls, red flags, and gatekeeping. And when we surpassed 1 million newsletter subscribers last year, we were so ecstatic, and we also asked: What's next? Instead of guessing, we turned to you. We sent surveys, combed through comments, and picked up the phone to chat with GISTers across North America. Over and over again, we heard: 💬 "I love The GIST. But I want to connect with other fans like me." 💬 "Being a woman in sports can feel isolating. I don't want to yell into the void on X anymore." 💬 "I'm tired of the trolls, the mansplaining, the sexist comments. I want a space that feels good." That was the "aha" moment. The problem wasn't just a lack of equal coverage or a female POV in sports; it was a lack of community. | ||
| So we built the solution.  Source: The GIST Introducing The GIST Plus: our new membership program designed with you and for you. The GIST you know and love isn't going anywhere, but fandom isn't one-size-fits-all. That's why we've built something for those who want to dig a little deeper, connect a little closer, and get even more from their sports community. |
| With The GIST Plus, you'll finally have: 💚 A safe digital home: Our exclusive Discord community will allow you to celebrate, debate, and nerd out freely (no trolls allowed). 🤝 Members-only content: A monthly newsletter will feature extra-spicy takes you won't see anywhere else, and a members-only podcast will give you an inside scoop you can't get anywhere else. 🎉 In-person connections: We're helping you connect IRL by facilitating discounts with your favorite teams and sports bars. For just $5-10 a month (or $50-$100 a year), you enjoy the healthiest comments section on the internet while supporting our women-led newsroom. |
| And as a bonus, the first 50 GISTers to sign up for an annual plan will receive a free GIST swag bag. We've been rewriting the internet for women in sports since 2018. This is the next chapter, and you're the reason it exists. See you on the Discord, Ellen + The GIST Team |
