NFL

The game is unwatchable for a bunch of reasons. Many of the elected players don't show up, there are modified rules that disallow blitzing, multiple defensive backs and more. Not to mention the game comes one week after the Super Bowl, and there tends to be a letdown after an intense 20+ weeks of action.
There have been some proposals on how to fix the game. People have suggested moving it to the site of the Super Bowl, and playing it on the Monday night before the championship game, or giving the monetary bonus only to the winning team, instead of that team just getting a larger share.
Ultimately, though, the best idea is simply to scrap it. Nobody cares much about it, not even the players. Pro Bowlers can still be named, and maybe there can be some type of ceremony at the Super Bowl. Just stop subjecting everyone to a farce of a competition.
