Sportbro can't take the heat
Have you ever had heat exhaustion? It fucking sucks and is incredibly dangerous to go through, leading to heatstroke and other heat-related illnesses and death.
I got it once during a high school football game. It was the 4th quarter and we were down a few points anyway, but when I took the field and literally couldn't even catch my breath and I wasn't even sweating anymore? The ref called the game and sent me to the opposite sideline so they could stuff bags of ice in my uniform. The school we were playing at thankfully had a pool that they also had me float in for a few minutes to cool down.
It was honestly terrible and I wouldn't wish it on most people.
Edit: I'd also like to add: NO ONE CAN TAKE THAT HEAT. That's almost 160°, which is almost fully cooked temp, and 20° more than chicken needs to be done.
