Who's going to Hawaii to see the Pro Bowl? No One!

Here is why I think it does not...

I run a small management consulting company in real life. One of my clients - - not permanently but on a sporadic basis - - is a minority partner in the ownership of an NFL franchise. [ NOT the Redskins! ]

That client referred me to another person tied to ownership of a different NFL team [ NOT the Redskins! ] for whom I did a one-time project last year.

In talking with them about NFL football during times when we were not focused on the specific management consulting tasks at hand, both of them complained about the Pro Bowl as a "money sink". I have not pressed either of them for details on that topic but it is interesting that both men - - with two different teams - - think that the Pro Bowl is a money loser.

Only the NFL's tax filers know for sure...
