I’m interested in knowing how many NFL stars would back out of this Pro Bowl?
Fox Sports is reporting that NFL brass are considering Brazil as the host site for the 2017 NFL Pro Bowl game.
A source told FOXSports.com that Brazil is a viable candidate to host the 2017 Pro Bowl.
The all-star exhibition game’s future destination is one of the subjects that will be broached during the NFL’s annual meeting being held from Monday through Wednesday in Phoenix.
There are several reasons Brazil is under consideration as the first non-U.S. site for the Pro Bowl. The NFL has drawn growing interest in that South American country from a television viewership and participation standpoint, which appeals to a league looking to expand its international interests.
The NFL also believes Brazil could hold allure to participating players as an exotic locale and unique experience.
The 2016 Pro Bowl will return to Hawaii after being played earlier this year in Glendale, Ariz., the site for Super Bowl XLIX. The NFL is exploring multiple cities for the 2017 Pro Bowl outside of Super Bowl host site Houston.
