"Pro" (?) Bowl?

[GodBlessTheUSA]

Walked by a TV and saw a glimpse and actually had to stop and watch the farce that is the modern "Pro-Bowl".

NO Tackling!?!?!?!

I've seen flag football games with more intensity. The most physical thing I saw was a pass interference arm jerk.

Even the refs look bored.

OK, I understand the desire to not get hurt, but this is supposedly the "best of the best"?

It's like a game of tag.

Rant over.

Same here. I love football but that game is a joke. Watched 1 minute. And the NFL in general has been ruined by their woke politics

Thinking the same, our intra-mural fraternity flag football team hit harder than these guys. There were actually bones broken, teeth kicked out, knees and ankles torn up, and we had no pads or helmets.

No comparison. These guys don't want to have a career ending injury in a game that means nothing. I agree it's not very entertaining.

Here's a photo of my fraternity IM football team, Phi Rho Chi at McKendree College, Lebanon, IL. Date is about 1968.

I stopped watching all sports 4-5 years ago, and certainly not wasting my time with the Olympics.

Would you risk millions of dollars for a game that means nothing but having fun? I really doubt these guys care what a bunch of guys on the internet think about the NFL lol.

I wish they would get all of playing outta position to make it fun. Kickers at QB, lineman running routes, receivers in 3 point stance blocking, hell make cheerleaders call plays. Have some fun with it.

All star games are meant to be fun, not serious.
