There should be NO PRO BOWL GAME because:  

PLAYERS DO NOT WANT TO PLAY IT;
FANS DO NOT WANT TO WATCH IT;
THE RISK OF INJURY TO HIGH PERFORMING/HIGH VALUE PLAYERS EXISTS;
THAT SAME RISK OF INJURY CHANGES THE WAY THE GAME  IS PLAYED TO SOMETHING LESS THAN DESIRABLE;
MANY PLAYERS WHO ARE SELECTED CLAIM INJURY IN ORDER TO AVOID HAVING TO PLAY IN THE PRO BOWL;
AND DUE TOTHAT AVOIDANCE, SUBSTITUTE PLAYERS ARE ADDED TO THE PRO BOWL TEAMS RESULTING IN MANY MORE PLAYERS BEING ABLE TO CLAIM THAT THEY WERE PRO BOWL PLAYERS.

PLAYERS SHOULD BE SELECTED AS ALL-PRO, BUT THERE SHOULD BE NO GAME PLAYED.  THE PLAYERS WOULD RIGHTFULLY BE PROUD OF THEIR ALL-PRO SELECTION, BUT WOULD NOT HAVE TO RISK INJURY OR CLAIM INABILITY TO PLAY IN A GAME THAT IS A SHAM!  I HOPE THE NFL OWNERS AND COMMISSIONER WILL WAKE UP TO THIS AND HONOR THE ALL-PRO PLAYERS WITHOUT THE MEANINGLESS GAME!
