The Pro Bowl is no longer the same. This offseason, the NFL decided to do away with the flag football game and instead focus on honoring players who are named Pro Bowlers. Shannon Sharpe, however, isn’t a fan of this at all.
Sharpe spoke on his podcast, "Nightcap," about how he believes NFL players are to blame for the demise of the Pro Bowl. Alluding to how the NBA All-Star game has gone down in quality, Sharpe says NFL players should be ashamed of themselves for how they allowed the game to deteriorate.
“And you NFL players that’s responsible for this that played the last decade, you ought to be embarrassed," Sharpe said on his podcast. "Because something that’s been going on before your parents were born, you all ruined it. You ended it. Y’all
did. Y’all did that. So be proud of yourself. Because that’s what you’ve done.”
