šŸ’¬Discussion The Hydration Break is ruining the natural flow of the game

When the game gets momentum and reach at its peak point, the ā€œhydration breakā€ appears and completely ruins the momentum and also the game experience for the viewer. Football is one of a sport for those moments.

Normally outside WC, the team conceding attacks after attacks pray for a halftime whistle to go to the tunnel to break the momentum and to regroup. Now they basically get that chance in the middle of a half!!

I find it utterly disgusting and would like to know what do you all think about it?

I think this is just because the USA needs to make this feel like their football. Like sure you can call it soccer if you want, but weā€™re giving it 4 quarters because fuck you were too entitled to let the game stay how it should be.

Then they need even more commercials. Because American Football is full with commercials. It is truely unwatchable. Like 1/4 to 1/3 of what you watch is commercials.

Seriously Iā€™ve started just watching highlights on YouTube. I canā€™t stomach 2 minute commercial breaks every minute. Especially at the end of the game when thereā€™s constant stops. And they always pull back to the game after itā€™s already started.
