Having just hosted the world’s biggest futbol event, Brazil may be in line for a slightly less important game of football.
According to Alex Marvez of FOX Sports, the NFL is considering Brazil as a possible candidate for the 2017 Pro Bowl.
For players who grumble about having to play the all-star game at the Super Bowl host city rather than Hawaii, the idea of Ipanema Beach would certainly provide an attractive alternative.
That might help draw a better class of all-stars to the game, rather than the annual flood of “injury” withdrawals. As the league tries to market itself overseas, that would only help.
@Malta what do you think? NFL trying to play catch up.
