It's about the cash payout, which is around $100,000, and the further earnings that can come from endorsements when they can add "NFL pro-bowler" under the name, and future contract earnings.

Otherwise yes, no one wants to play in the game or gives a hoot about it.

True hopefully he gets all pro to make up for it, but if he doesn't he will probably get an alternate nod

It matters to him financially, I hate it for him 

I’m not familiar with the escalators in his deal.  I know they get paid something like 40k - 90k depending on winning or losing.

We all know he deserves it but it was also pointed out that he’d need to post 7 or more sacks prior to selection in order to get the recognition.  Hes got 5.  He’ll probably end up with 6-7.

Doesn't matter tho, we know what we got.

2 of the others who made it have 3.5 combined

We as fans don't give a fug about it and know that it's a popularity contest. For players it's a significant work bonus.

I don't understand what you are advocating for with this.

No Probowl? No monetary reward? More money? Keep as is? Make them play? Change something up?

Watch him make All Pro.

It's more of a party in recent years with some pretty entertaining activities for viewers. Shows the players having fun and competing in skills

MUCH better than playing a real game without anything on the line.

Kelce being voted to pro bowl tells you everything you need to know

I haven't cared for the pro bowl this century.  It's a joke.

He'll probably be an All-Pro which is way more prestigious anydamnway
