It’s got nothing to do with the event itself, it’s about the accolade and it lessening the meaning of it, particularly for past players.

Just call it “The postseason games” or something dumb like that.  Then have pro bowl voting still and those players are then invited to participate in the event, but any alternates aren’t then considered “pro bowlers” 

I agree with that aspect.

I hate the new format.  The old games were easy cash on the overs once the players stopped competing.

The dumbest part about the pro bowl is it affects compensation and hall of fame credentials 

Not really. 

There is a big difference between being named an All-Pro and being selected to a Pro Bowl. Obviously, being named as an All-Pro carries much more cred than a Pro Bowl selection.

Players these days don’t need the pay day of the Pro Bowl. Even the lower paid players are earning enough money to not want to risk an injury playing in a pointless game. Last year didn’t the winners take home around $100k and the losers around $50k?

Sounds nice to most of us, but to them, I can understand why some turn it down or half heartedly it if they play.

I don't care about them making money, I was talking about me making money!
