How to Watch Sports & Bowl Games when Outside the USA

I guess college football is one of my many passions, so when the games are on, I try to watch them. Unfortunately, we don't get many games televised LIVE here in Asia. So the problem is 'How do I watch sports & Bowl games when outside the USA?'. The solution is getting simpler with technology.

Before I tell you what I did, I want to share a story. One of my good friends moved from the USA, met a nice lady, got married, had a few babies, but then he couldn't take it any longer, and he did something drastic. In 2016, he sold everything... then packed up his family and moved home so he could watch his favorite professional football teams LIVE on TV. 

Really?
Yes. he really did this. 

There are numerous affordable options that he could have chosen:

• Slingbox
• TiVo
• ESPN app
• and many others

​​But, he instead chose an extreme way to tune in his favorite pro teams - moving back to the USA.

My problem was that I not only wanted to watch the games, but I also wanted to enjoy it with my friends back in the States. So my solution to watching the football games outside the USA is simple:

1. Call my friends on Skype or Facetime
2. Have them turn on their TV
3. Face their phone's, pad's or computer's camera toward the TV
4. and watch the games together. 

It works!

The only difference is that I am watching the game by the warm ocean and palm trees while my friends are bundled up in layers of warm clothing surrounded by their snow covered  urban environment.

I guess some may not want to use my method of watching sporting events outside the USA (or wherever their home is), but I prefer my tropical, virtual 'man cave' to any other place on the planet.
