NFL anuncia jogadores selecionados para o Pro Bowl 2017
"Jogo das estrelas" do futebol americano será realizado em Orlando, na Florida, em janeiro de 2017
A espera acabou! A NFL anunciou os jogadores escolhidos para a disputa do Pro Bowl 2017. O “jogo das estrelas” do futebol americano vai ser realizado em Orlando, na Florida, no dia 29 de janeiro. Infelizmente, o kicker Cairo Santos, do Kansas City Chiefs, não foi eleito – não foi por falta de tentar, já que a mídia brasileira divulgou (muito) a votação. Em todo caso, sempre existem mudanças de jogadores, já que alguns abrem mão do evento por também jogar o Super Bowl que acontece uma semana depois. Duas novidades (não tão novas assim) que veremos em 2017: disputa entre AFC e NFC e torneio de habilidades. Esse formato volta a ser praticado para tentar atrair mais o público.
