Do We Really Need The All-Star Games Anymore
Do we really need the All-Star games anymore is a subject that is being talked about a lot among fans and even players these days. When the concept of the All-Star game was created it was to showcase players who were having good seasons. They all got a break from the daily grind of the season, and this was there reward. Now though it’s not that way anymore, as most do not even show up anymore to the game. It’s the sad state of sports these days, but the truth.
Fans have an input and vote players in, but in recent years because of injuries and various other reasons players have been pulling out of these games. It is a shame as the fans voted these players in because they wanted to see them play. The other main reasons fans and players alike talk about disbanding these games, is they have become boring and very predictable. They have certain rules set-up in these games which makes them nothing more than scrimmages. The fans deserve much better than this and unless things change they may stop going to these All-Star games. Most will tell you they really do not need this All-Star game anymore if none of the top stars are going to show up anyways.
