The NFL has cancelled the 2021 Pro Bowl in an effort to focus on the completion of the regular season amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

The league announced the move Wednesday, saying that Las Vegas, where the Pro Bowl was scheduled to be played, will host the game after the 2021 season in January of 2022.

The move creates an extra week before the Super Bowl, which could serve as a makeup date for any rescheduled games. The NFL has already rescheduled several regular season games due to COVID-19 outbreaks within the Tennessee Titans and New England Patriots locker rooms.

I think the Pro Bowl is a joke these days! I don't it watched like it use to be!

I agree. It’s hardly a football game at all. More like a low impact practice at best and it’s hard to get excited to watch.

However.... some additional thoughts on the subject and what does this do, not having one this year or if we did away with the Pro Bowl all together. Votes to the Pro Bowl have always had a major impact on votes into the Hall Of Fame. Even if there isn’t a game this year, is there still going to be a roster?

Good riddance. It sucked for a long time.
