The AFL does NOT need an all-star game. They need to abandon their jack linebacker defense and adopt the same defense used in the NIFL -- one linebacker that must be 5 yards off of the line of scrimmage with 4 other defensive backs.

Before you say "I like the way the AFL is right now," go and see for yourself which game is more entertaining on the non-kicking downs. Don't be narrow minded.

I've seen both -- AFL (Columbus Destroyers) and NIFL (Dayton Warbirds). The NIFL has a superior entertaining game for downs one through three.

The AFL does need to change the problem that you talked about. The NIFL is more entertaining because of that. But all the major leagues and some minor leagues have all-star games. The AFL seems to be lacking that quality that makes me think of them as a minor league instead of a major league, which is what they would like to be called.
