The NHL’s all-star game is now a 3 on 3 tournament while the NFL’s Pro Bowl doesn’t even allow tackling anymore. That means if they were picking Premier League all-star teams right now, Erling Haaland, Harry Kane, and Cristiano Ronaldo - with one Premier League start and zero goals - would all be locks to be included. The money you got for making the all-star game and the money you got for winning the all-star game made a difference. It’s not a perfect comparison because the Premier League is far more cosmopolitan than any of the American leagues. Famously, the reason why the Premier League can't just fund the lower leagues is a lack of revenue on the PL's part.
