CORAL GABLES, Fla., June 26, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- In sports, there are fans, and then there are untameable fans; those who take things to another level with their exuberance and unbridled enthusiasm for the game. To celebrate this spirit, BACARDÍ rum, the world's best-selling and most awarded rum, has announced its BACARDÍ Untameable Fan contest, whereby soccer fans are encouraged to sign and share a petition demanding that employers provide three-hour viewing breaks during the workday this summer for a chance to win the ultimate viewing party.

BACARDÍ Untameable fans believe watching the world's best compete in Brazil is a right and signing this petition could make it a reality. Soccer fans everywhere can log on to bacardifanaticoindomable.com to sign and share the petition. Every fan who signs will be entered for a chance to score the ultimate viewing party during the final match, including transportation to and from the winner's residence to the location of the party, a private screening area for the game and a feast for up to 10 friends 21-years of age or older. The BACARDÍ Untameable Fan contest winner will be announced July 7, 2014 on the contest webpage, bacardifanaticoindomable.com.
