Why Does the World Cup Have Hydration Breaks? A Lot of Money. At least $250 million, with a plausible value of $500 million-600 million.

They hydration break is a great time to take a piss and grab another drink or whatever. Everyone should stop crying about it.
Alot of players are not used to the heat in the USA. Now obviously some games are being played in cooler temperatures but if 1 game has something all games most have them
“Breaks in the action allow broadcasters to run advertisements” – gee, thanks a million, Hollywood Reporter.
because CAPITALISM through advertising. thats it. welcome to the USA! its not the heat. they played in Qatar ffs.
I think people underestimate the heat in some of these states. An English summer is considered winter in Florida, full sweater weather. The summers are steady 35C with humidity in the 85-90% range. The body just does not cool down in that humidity, sweating is pretty much useless.
Only North American broadcasters, FOX/TSN, are showing ads. I’ve been watching BBC/ITV and there’s been no ads during the hydration break. So that shouldn’t be the argument. People need to stop whining about it.
I never noticed it as a kid until I went to my first game, but NFL games have a LOT of commercial breaks. I don’t know what I thought they did while I was watching commercials, but then I saw the truth.
