The fans do not care about ProBowl games enough to even watch. Have not watched one since the 70's when I was a child.
So why should the players ?
All that anybody cares about is the prestige of making the roster. Even that is getting watered down lately.
Back in the day when salaries were not so high the free trip to Hawaii was worth it. But that is nothing to these guys these days.
They should do away with the actual game and make it some sort of honorary thing. Or maybe have some sort of fun competitions set up for different position players.
Have obstacles set up for D-lineman with dummies in the pocket with famous QB pics and jersey's on that can be disintegrated upon impact without any chance of real injuries, and so forth. Could be many creative things thought up I am sure that would actually bring spectators. Or even an Olympic style thing with a football flare. Even races between the NFL's fastest players would be more interesting to me. Some sort of bragging rights thing with prizes. They all like showing off !
Anything other than a game nobody is even trying in. And why should they risk their careers over something meaningless.
The actual game though is through in my book.

The water tastes funny when you're far from your home,
yet it's only the thirsty that hunger to roam.
Roam the Jungle !
