    It's not only the World Cup, it's everything, everywhere, all the time. We are drowning in marketing messages. It's gross.

        And then the US advertisers came up with "hydration breaks".

          At least US pro leagues (other than MLS and racing) haven’t yet gone all in on desecrating the team uniform with ads. I can’t bring myself to buy a team jersey that’s 75% an ad for an unrelated corporation that I don’t want to support.
