The lustre has come off for each's sports "skills competition" of some sort. They're gimmicky, children aren't naive enough to buy into the mysticism anymore, and they're just sponsor driven nonsense. Admittedly the baseball all-star game is the most remotely watchable but for all sports it's silly. They keep saying it's for the kids but most kids can't afford tickets anyway. It's just a way of keeping the sponsors happy, and it's one big circle jerk along the way. Yes, Debbie Downer, but the vast majority of years suck. This is for every sport.
