The only all-star game that’s worth anything is baseball’s, and even then they introduced the inane idea of letting it decide home-field advantage in the World Series.

And at least the NHL has the Skills Competition, which is better than the actual All-Star Game, itself.

They only did that to try to make it matter after the "There's no tying in baseball" debacle in 2002. They ran out of players because it was more important to get every player on the field than it was to win, like some Little League game.
