Your points are still valid but Lebrun is an example. His momma had to send him away for the best shot. There’s also a school I wanna say in Florida where they recruit kids from all over to train them up. But still. Gymnastics/ice skating/hockey/etc Are sports of privilege.https://twitter.com/AsiaChloeBrown/status/1060551884572950528 …
Maybe not him but there’s a few ball players that were sent off for better opportunities. I’m not a big sports fan but I briefly was exposed to how the schooling system effects prospective players. Even in my high school, kids were sent to different schools for recruitment opps.
