FIFA hydration breaks have sparked criticism. But what do they actually do?
For the first time in World Cup history, FIFA is mandating all soccer players take hydration breaks to protect them from the threats of extreme heat. But the new rule has sparked criticism.
This hydration rule makes perfect sense - players are literally sweating out their body weight in extreme heat. At least FIFAs finally prioritizing player safety over outdated notions of toughness. The criticism from some fans seems to ignore that were talking about human beings, not robots.
