    No, I understand your point - it’s not like you are offering a particularly deep insight here.

    The problem is that you are taking my original comment too literally. I am not arguing that it is a realistic career path in terms of overall success rates. I am saying that, relative to many other career paths in which these people face massive systemic and social roadblocks, sport is the only realistic option to escape poverty.

      I see, my apologies.

      I thought you were trying to say it was a realistic way for them to escape poverty when you said it was the only realistic way to escape poverty.
