Roger Goodell: Pro Bowl is ‘not the kind of game that I think we want to continue to have in its current format’ https://t.co/0ruDVxwcNo

The Pro Bowl has become so uninteresting the NFL is considering moving it across the world to get people interested.
LarryBrownSports reports, the NFL is considering moving the Pro Bowl to Australia and it’s a very real possibility.
The Pro Bowl is the most pointless “all-star” game compared to the other major sports. At least in baseball it counts for home-field in the World Series. In basketball and hockey it’s right in the middle of the season so there’s an interest there. The Pro Bowl is all the way in Hawaii but we’re all focused on the Superbowl and that respective location.
Not sure if moving the Pro Bowl to Australia will make much of difference other than getting an Australian audience. You’re going to fly players 20-hours to play non-contact football, which doesn’t fix the problem with the Pro Bowl.
Roger Goodell was disappointed about this year’s Pro Bowl so trying something new may not be a bad idea for him.
