NFL replaces Pro Bowl game with week-long events

The Las Vegas Raiders’ home, Allegiant Stadium, will host a new-look celebration for the NFL’s best players after this season.

According to the Associated Press, the NFL has decided to scrap the annual Pro Bowl game and instead have a week-long list of skills events, culminated by a flag football game on February 5, the Sunday before the Super Bowl.

The NFL has long considered during something like this because the Pro Bowl game has long lacked a competitive spirit that was often panned by players, media and fans.
