Reference:

nu cred ca se traduce

Currently, the term is used in U.S. team sports to refer to players who are selected by members of the national media. The term is used primarily with regard to college and, occasionally (and more controversially), to high school players. Outstanding professional players usually are referred to as all-stars, or, in the case of professional American football, All-Pros, who are selected by the fans to compete in Pro Bowl games.

This concept of team selection is confined largely to the United States because in almost all other countries, national teams that particpate in international competitions play a much greater role in sports culture at both adult and age-restricted levels .
