I used to watch these games every year, it was always the first one. I would root for the All-Stars but they always seem to lose

This is the second All Star game. I've seen not liking this one as well as the first one being the announcing the play before it happens.

As I was starting college, I watched the last College All-Star-Pro game on TV. And the event died a watery death. The final game was never finished. Although it was nature rather than imbibement that wrecked it, the finale was right up there with Cleveland's nickel beer night in sports lore for laughable awfulness.

Back when the men were men and so were the women.

Why did they stop playing this game?

NFL coaches became skittish about their draft picks risking injury in this exhibition. Of course they could get hurt in a regular NFL exhibition. Plus it just wasn't very competitive as the pro teams got better.

This event was created in the 1930s to make the budding NFL more visible by latching onto the popularity of college football. By the '60s, the pros were more prestigious, and they didn't need a boost.

Sign of the times. There were maybe a couple dozen of them in the league, tops.

Most colleges were still segregated, or simply not an option for blacks, for the most part and the NFL only drafted who was available. One of the first things I noticed too.
