FOX Sports Is Hiring Someone To Watch Every World Cup Game For $50,000, Here’s How To Apply

In a collab advert (a ‘collad’ if you will), FOX Sports, FOX One and Indeed are doing a cross promotion to promote their separate services across each other, promotionally.

The advert is billed as “a nationwide search to fill the position of “FOX One Chief World Cup Watcher Hired Through Indeed” – a dream job for cultural moment fanatics across the country.” Well, as a ‘cultural moment fanatic’ myself, this sounds very exciting indeed.

And to add to the excitement, this is being billed as a real job paying a massive $50,000 salary to watch all 104 matches across the 39-day tournament. The winner will be tasked with live-streaming the World Cup from “their personal office – a custom-built, dream viewing space in the heart of New York City’s Times Square.”

And all using the FOX One streaming platform, of course.

How To Apply

So first, you need to have an Indeed profile or make one (and there’s the rub).

Set it to “employers can find you.”

Then post a video on social media explaining why you’re right for the job with the hashtag #ChiefWorldCupWatcher.

So, you know, how you’d apply for any other definitely real job.

And If You Get The Role…

…It’s going to be an interesting one to put on the resume.

“Now I’m seeing a gap in your employment history here: it just says ‘watched the soccer’?”

“Oh, no, that was a job. A real job Hired Through Indeed™. I was paid $50,000 to sit on the couch and watch soccer for a month. It was real, I didn’t dream it, I swear!”

Though to be fair, at least one person’s getting paid. How many people have been doing this for free every World Cup, like a sucker? All this time, you could have been earning a fortune? Who knew.

Do you think they can backdate these payments…?
