Where to find a Super Bowl watch party near you in South Florida

Super Bowl week did not start well for NFL fans triggered by the sight of Kansas City star Travis Kelce’s girlfriend.

Taylor Swift’s night at the Grammy Awards on Sunday — including a record-setting fourth win for Album of the Year and the surprise announcement of a new album, “The Tortured Poets Department,” set for release on April 19 — was a reminder that she does not need to use the NFL to boost her brand. It’s the other way around.

The NFL community that will gather for Super Bowl LVIII in Las Vegas this Sunday is filled with good men who lead exemplary family lives and do generous work in their communities. This too often gets overshadowed by sensational headlines of domestic violence, bar brawls and fatal car crashes.

Can someone explain why NFL fans who share homes with wives and daughters (or who hope to do that someday) begrudge the fleeting sight of one of pop culture’s defining female role models as she supports her boyfriend at work?

How is this not a moment (literally measured in seconds) of the kind of healthy, nurturing relationship we wish for our kids (everyone, really)? Like Jay-Z’s frank advocacy for his wife at the Grammys last Sunday.

One of the many public watch parties scheduled in South Florida when the Super Bowl kicks off at 6:30 p.m. Sunday is at Thrōw Social in downtown Delray Beach, which will lean into the sideshow of the game during an event called Here for the Commercials, which includes Swifty themes and is open to anyone age 15 and older.

Here are some other unique places where people will gather to root for the San Francisco 49ers, Kansas City Chiefs and Team Taylor.
