Whoever criticizes capitalism, while approving immigration, whose working class is its first victim, had better shut up. Whoever criticizes immigration, while remaining silent about capitalism, should do the same.

Yes, I'm sure they make money but I have no idea how much. Actually as I recall there was something weird about how much the state of Hawaii pays the NFL - it was a lot - for the game.
Found it:
HONOLULU -- The Pro Bowl is returning to Hawaii.The Hawaii Tourism Authority board voted 9-1 on Friday to accept the NFL's offer to return the all-star game to the islands.The board rejected two previous proposals, but under mounting pressure, it reconsidered its latest refusal to pay the NFL $4 million a year to host the game at Aloha Stadium in 2011 and 2012."We are pleased to continue our partnership with the state of Hawaii, which has embraced the Pro Bowl for 30 years," Frank Supovitz, the NFL's senior vice president of events, said in a statement.

There's a legit question as to whether the game really brings in that much money for the state. Most think it's bull, but the politicians who vote on it get their skyboxes (year round) and other perks.
I remember you posted something about this way back. It looked like Hawaii was paying for the game when all was said and done.

Uncle Conley does tend to repeat himself. By the way, that Iraq war was some horse$#@!.
