The whole "fairness" angle is meaningless. It's already a big advantage to just play in normal temperatures compared to temps that would require a hydration break. Nobody would rather play in 30°C or more but with hydration breaks than a nice cool 20°C but with no breaks. There is no need to give "compensation" by making the breaks universal. They're simply just ad breaks. If they're not guaranteed, they're much harder to sell. Now they can charge more for the guaranteed ad space. That's it.
even the announcers are starting to point out how shit the breaks are; their effect on momentum
IDK, on one hand, I guess it's good if everybody or no one gets them but on the other hand... well... they just suck

The first few games I honestly didn't mind it. I'd just go get a drink
But game after game after game, it's really starting to bother me
And not enough games actually need them to justify it
Just tuned in. Game any good?
Depends, who are you rooting for?
I'm pretty happy, although it was a bit scary before the "hydration" break
Neither, just want to watch good football.
Well, I don't know if it was a good game if you didn't care who won, but I had fun!
Thats the most aussie haircut ive seen in a long while...
The sweet stache sells it
No it's at 5am for us not surprised about the result tho.
oh shit, ref down!
honestly, that's a good yellow to get
STOP PASSING IT BACK!!!
I'm getting nervous
The US really hasn't had any attempts on goal this entire half
lame, Volpado can get bent
The US is like... clear it or just turn it over right outside the box?
Lets just stand here for a bit and then turn it over
They keep showing these famous people... I must be old because I don't know who they are
omg, tell me he's onsides, please!!!
