Fans are angry at Fox Sports CEO Eric Shanks, who called the recent FIFA World Cup hydration breaks "positive". Many believe the breaks were a way for broadcasters to earn more advertising money, not to help players. Some reports even suggest Fox Sports could get an extra $500 million from these mandatory breaks.
