Are hydration breaks really for the players or just for profit?

Has anyone else noticed that after every hydration break, the commentators go out of their way to praise how beneficial these breaks are for the players, but does anyone actually buy that? It feels pretty transparent that it's really just an opportunity to squeeze in more ad revenue. Football has existed in the same format for decades, did the players actually request this? submitted by /u/reckless_Paul [link] [comments]
