‘Pro Bowl Is Trash’: NFL Fans React After Lowest Viewership in 16 Years Might Lead to Pro Bowl Cancellation

According to the recent developments in the NFL world, it seems the 2022 Pro Bowl might become the last game the fans could have witnessed. Reports claim that the NFL is considering dropping the event that is held every year just one week before the Super Bowl.

The low viewership is cited as one of the prime reasons behind the move. However, there hasn’t been an official announcement from the league; the decision is speculated to come out soon.

While the 2021 Pro Bowl got canceled due to the pandemic situation; this year’s event was expected to attract a larger audience. However, this year’s Pro Bowl produced its lowest membership since 2006.

It was something around $6.7 million. Although it wasn’t a bad figure, the event saw a dip of 17% compared to the previous years. The Pro Bowl is an All-star game between NFC and AFC teams, something similar to which is held in NBA and MLB every year.

According to NFL Insider Ian Rapoport, the NFL can use the Pro Bowl Sunday to showcase the players being voted for the event rather than playing an actual game.

Moreover, a flag football game can also prove to be an alternative solution. This will not only help the players but also aid the league to limit the use of its infrastructure. As soon as the news started breaking out, fans were keen to share their comments.
