Anyone else in favour of having FanVoting banned? Its a joke, Shaq? AI? give me a break

In truth, it's more of an honour to be chosen as a reserve by the coaches.

[Arsenalist]

Fan voting should count as 1/4th of the total voting. Have the coaches, GMs and select media vote. By 'select' I mean, about 10 guys from across the league, none of this Chucks Swirsky stuff.

lol @ "none of this Chucks Swirsky stuff" allstar weekend is just a celebrity event it really doesn't have a thing to do with stats .. fans just vote for their favourite players even if they are injued and not playing .. makes no sense to me but thats the way it is ..

I agree with Arsenalist fan voting should only count as 1/4 or 1/2 vote let the coaches and GMs do the rest.. and the people who really should be there would be there.
