Why is the pro bowl so unpopular?

[I. Cold]

Compared to the NBA allstars and MLB?

because is isnt mid season.

 

[Meta4iCAL]

I never the watch the pro bowl shit is weak

it's partly because it's at the end of the season, but also because in fotball you know players aren't gonna go in and play really hard because there's a greater chance of getting injured

 

[ColoRider303]

I'm thinking it's the end of the year, the rules are basic, no blitzing, got to stay in a certain type of defense, and above all else, hardly any intensity, if none at all.

 

[King Spadez]

Simply because its bullshit.

^ what they said

Yeah, it isn't that great but I definitely need to get my ass out to Hawaii during Pro Bowl weekend once in my life.

 

[ayo4yayo]

yea the pro bowl is not fun to watch unless your actually there.

 

[Masked Lemon]

It doesn't even have any significance to the season in any way.

It would be better if it was mid-season, and the winning conference got to host the Super Bowl, but that will never happen.

3/4 speed football isnt very fun to watch.

The players arent into it and you can tell.

no longer in Hawaii. Its the weekend between conference championship and super bowl weekend. at the super bowl site.

 

[nrodgers]

the only reason the players show up is cuz they get paid for it it has no meaning to anyone and doesnt affect anything like in baseball and basketball

 

[Stealth]

Not to mention that pro bowl players from the superbowl teams almost never play. And now with the new system, they will never play.

The rules are weak too. Especially no blitzing.

My favorite part is the skills competition.

 

[prodigy91]

i guess it is also to show how good you were as a player in your position, and making the pro bowl signifies that, imo...

 

[Stealth]

I'm not even sure I agree with that. The right players almost never make the pro bowl.

 

[Nebulizah]

i.e. Bryant McKinnie making the pro bowl, and he's been TERRIBLE most of this year

 

[Quick]

^^thats true.

The worst is when players make it because of their reputation.

What the hell? What a shitty idea. I'm boycotting the Pro Bowl.


What's the idea behind having it in between those two games?

To see if they can get more interest and attendance.
