Sports are the talk of the town right now. With the Super Bowl last week and the 2026 Winter Olympics taking over our FYPs, it’s on everyone’s mind. Naturally, since I don’t really watch sports, the only way I’d tune in is if I were hosting a “watch party.”
It’s true — I love hosting, themed parties, and (yes, I admit it) a dress code. So if anyone asked me to host a Super Bowl or Olympics watching party, you bet I’m in. I’d be whipping up a signature cocktail, crafting a themed snack, and fully committing to a very specific decor vibe.
So it got me thinking about all the other people who host “watch parties” and invite friends over for a big game. So naturally, instead of wanting to talk about sports, I just want to hear about the drama surrounding your sports social gatherings. So tell me… Do any of you have a disasterous “watch party” story to share?
Did someone try to propose during the halftime show and get rejected in front of all of your friends, only for everyone to just go back to watching the game and pretend that it never happened? Because, honestly, true sports fans just can’t not finish a game.
Did your uncle bet way too much on a figure skating duo, lose, and throw a full-blown tantrum? Or did someone drink too much “fun punch” and throw up on your brand-new jersey?
Whatever your chaotic watch party story is — whether it’s from the Super Bowl, the Olympics, or just a random night you had people over to watch sports — I want to hear it. Drop it in the comments, or if you’d rather stay private, that’s exactly what the super-easy, anonymous form below is for.
In the meantime, enjoy watching the Olympics. And for those who don’t even care about the sports but will take any excuse to host…I commend you. You’re doing god’s work. (Or at least that’s what I tell myself while trying to make a dip that looks like a skating rink.)
