7 ways the NFL can fix the Pro Bowl

The Pro Bowl is a dud for everyone involved — the players and fans. But with a few changes, it could be the fun game everyone hoped for.

The NFL’s television rights likely block most of this option, which is a problem for the league worthy of a separate post entirely. But the NFL has been lacking quality legal streaming options for far too long, making fans have to sit in front of their televisions or hold a specific telecom package in order to watch the way they want. That’s terrible all season long but it’s especially inexcusable for a special game that seemingly gets a fraction of the viewers even a bad regular-season game gets.

Not only should more casual fans be able to tune into the Pro Bowl from all around the world, but they should also be able to watch most aspects leading up to the game as well. From the practices to the individual skills competitions, the NFL should be streaming the ins and outs of what goes into a football game, especially one with as many big names as the Pro Bowl has.

In addition to having legal streaming options and showing more of the lead-up to the game, fans should be able to choose between their camera angles. It would be cool to watch a goal-line stand from the pylon camera or a touchdown run from the goalposts.
