There are at least two ways to think about the National Football League possibly taking its annual all-star game, the Pro Bowl, on the road to foreign countries instead of Hawaii, where it’s been staged many times in the past and is scheduled for at least one more time, in 2016.

One is that this would be terrible for tourism to Hawaii, since the broadcasting of the game on national TV has been a virtual three-hour commercial for our beautiful state — and would deny local football fans the opportunity to see many of their favorite players.

Another is that this would help spread American-style football to other countries. For football fans, that can only be a good thing.

It’s a tough call.

Trust gives Olds the cold shoulder

Kamehameha Schools surely was feeling some extraordinary pressure to withdraw its support from Janeen-Ann Olds, who now has lost her petition to keep her seat on the landed trust’s board. Probate Judge Derrick Chan gave the thumbs-down on Thursday.

In addition to being a trustee, Olds has been serving as CEO of the scandal-ridden Sandwich Isles Communications. Its founder, Albert Hee, was convicted of tax fraud for payments taken from the federally subsidized nonprofit.

The fact Kamehameha ultimately pulled its backing didn’t help her case. Kamehameha apparently didn’t think the association with a company carrying on like that reflected well on Olds, or the educational institution once known as Bishop Estate.
