So now it’s actually “Flag Football”.

The Pro Bowl games were never “real” but this 7-man flag football is a pitiful excuse for an exhibition game of the “most talented” NFL players.

No one would show up for the full contact game. Too much money at risk to get injured playing. I can't say I ever saw the Pro-bowl as anything serious. I don't ever remember watching one.

It's never been a serious contest.

A lot of people showed up... The stadium looked full!

Paying real money to watch a fake game baffles me. 🤪

Players wouldn't show though. Most times the were into their second or third alternates because the first few selections didn't want to get hurt.

There was a time where players got fined bigtime for not attending the Pro Bowl. One guy got punished for flying home from Hawaii early.

I agree it's always been a joke, can't watch that garbage even though I'm a fan.

Everything they do to try to get people to watch it only gets worse. Biggest nothing burger on TV.
