Grunt Style and American Grit discuss Super bowl watch parties overseas

Grunt Style/American Grit

It’s the week of The Big Game! Hope you’re gearing up for an incredible Sunday of good food, cold beer, and averting your eyes every time Taylor Swift pops up on the screen (for the record: I’m pro-Swift). You’re probably watching it either in the comfort of your home, at a friend or family member’s house, or at a sports bar, but have you ever considered that we take for granted where we get to watch the biggest game of the year? This week, Grunt Style and American Grit break down how overseas troops and foreign diplomats enjoy football watch parties around the world.

For most Americans, watching football is as simple as turning on your TV. For those Americans working or serving abroad, they might not have the luxury of a broadcast. That’s not fair! Every American has the right to overeat and drink one too many beers watching the last football game for months and wishing that they took Monday off. Here are some of the ways that military personnel and State Department employees watch The Big Game in other countries:

USO-hosted parties
Armed Forces Network (AFN) broadcasts
Embassy-organized viewing events
Local community-hosted events
On-base tailgate parties

Regardless of where you are in the world, if you’re proudly serving our country overseas, you deserve to enjoy the football festivities. It’s a small but significant slice of life back home that goes a long way.
