NFL gaffes with moving Pro Bowl to Miami

It's not that the people of Hawaii are any more deserving to have the Pro Bowl than a city like Miami, but the tradition has been around for 30 years and the players love it. It needs to stay. Roger Goodell is always looking for the extra buck, but he really doesn't need to tinker with the Pro Bowl. Playing it before the Super Bowl doesn't make it any less anticlimactic, especially considering players from the Super Bowl teams won't be participating, and quite possibly players who played in the previous week's championship games.
Playing it in Miami also cheapens to game. The players love going to Hawaii to be away from the distractions. Miami is hardly a getaway considering many players are from there or spend their offseasons there. Having it Miami merely makes it an side note, and perhaps just a way to ease the sting of the dreaded Super Bowl "dark week" that also needs to go. But nonetheless, having it after the season and in Hawaii is what the players want, and quite frankly what the fans want.
Having it before the Super Bowl doesn't mean anyone will care any more than they do or don't now. Attendance will likely be low; the fans in Hawaii get one game a year, as opposed to those in Miami, who get 8. Celebrities and other VIPs in town for the Big Game don't figure to spend a Sunday afternoon watching a meaningless game that very well will be missing some of the game's biggest stars.
