"Roger Goodell Threatens to Eliminate Pro Bowl Altogether"

     There may not be a Pro Bowl next year for the NFL according to the article.  Goodell, the commissioner, talked about the Mike and Mike In the Morning Show saying that the quality of the game must improve or he may consider eliminating the game.  Players in the Pro Bowl give as little effort as possible since their is no reward or incentive for winning.  The only bonus they get is a sum of money but that money doesn't make them try hard.  It was so easy to tell this year that the players didn't care at all who won the game.  Even the author of the article noticed this: "nobody is trying to tackle and players are running at half-speed".  This article covers a subject that interests me and the information it provided gave me a good base for my understanding of the topic.
    The author of this article didn't use much rhetoric which I found surprising.  He wrote with some humor yet the only possible rhetoric that he used was ethos.  He does so be questioning why we work hard and put in effort.  In reality, we work hard in hopes of money.  The NFL players in the Pro Bowl don't try hard because if they get hurt then they may miss games/a season and therefore they will not make as much money.
