Here’s the thing: no professional sports league has a good all-star game.
The Pro Bowl, in spite of showcasing the best players from America’s most popular sports league, flat out sucks. The NHL and NBA all-star games are track meets with flimsy defense and abnormally high scoring. The MLB’s “Summer Classic” failed to spur enthusiasm with its viciously stupid idea to give the winning league home field in the World Series. Also, as a big blow to the ‘participation trophy’ haters, every team gets to send a player to the MLB All-Star game. Adorable.
So none of the pro leagues in the U.
