It's always amazed me how the biggest and most popular sports league in the United States, that has the biggest and most watched sporting event in the Super Bowl, at the same time has the least cared about all star game.
I guess it's the nature of the whole deal. It usually comes after the Super Bowl, so I guess in that way it's a huge downer to go from championship to exhibition game. And now you have so many players skipping it, but I guess seeing as how football is so physically demanding that I guess I can't blame them for wanting to play a glorified scrimmage. But you would think they could do SOMETHING to make it more popular.
I actually think they made it worse this year. I don't mind them moving it to the mainland, that actually might draw up some more interest, though I know Hawaii would hate it. But having it a week before the Super Bowl? Dumb.
