4:49:30its not even that hot rn :_lol:
4:49:31The real reason for the breaks is to get ad money
4:49:38now it's every game no matter what
4:49:40trying to make it quarters not halves?
4:49:44the hydration breaks are for the USA to run ads - and that's not an exaggeration
4:49:46i like it , its like a lowkey timeout and regroup
4:49:46They're obviously just doing the breaks for commercials
4:49:49yeah that's a point of discussion it could really change the game
4:49:53definitely helps the team that's struggling more
4:49:53I love when the sportsball game I'm watching just slows all the way down
4:49:53thats exactly what shouldnt happen tho
4:49:58I don't like the hydration breaks
4:50:01They are just Ad breaks, americanisation
4:50:04its bassically a mandatory time out
4:50:06that's what half time is for tho
4:50:07they should send drones onto the field to deliver hydration mid-match :_tin:
4:50:09then they're playing the wrong sport
4:50:11I think it's an excuse for ads
4:50:11it reduces the need for fitness
4:50:14God forbid the brits take some time to enjoy tea
4:50:15its just a fancy way to shoehorn in ads
4:50:20It is literally just an ad break that was introduced for americans
4:50:23correct again, it's something that teams can learn to tactically use
4:50:24Don't let the managers onto the pitch
4:50:28if it's hot enough then breaks are necessary, but it really shouldn't be 3 minutes
