@mikechels_ But, no one is depriving them. They can just ask for water when thirsty.
Weather was 20 degrees yesterday with closed dome. They were still having hydration break.
It’s completely ruining the flow of the game
@mikechels_ Football has been played in these conditions for 100 of years.
You don’t need a hydration break. If they get thirsty they will individually just ask for water like they have done for many years.
It’s all a scam for paid advertising
Soccer has always been defined by free-flowing, unbroken action. But for the World Cup in America, FIFA is using “hydration breaks” to shoehorn in commercials. 🔗 https://t.co/pFuy90orj6
I’m ready to say hydration breaks are bad enough that it may legitimately ruin soccer as a global viewing phenomenon. It is the the worst enshitification to date.
Completely ruins the things that make soccer good on tv.
