Honestly it's turned on class once again. the only way to get into professional leagues, with professional pay (>$100k usd a year) is through aau play which starts in middle school, playing all through high school at a great school and going to a good (football) college. most if not all professional players have been playing all their lives. for people who don't have much hope of going to college anyway, and even less hope of getting into the middle class, it's a risk they're willing to take.

richer folks have always had other options, and oddly enough the commercialization of sports has made it less likely to indicate high class. children of professional players, and people in places where football have a deep hold on the culture and political structure will still risk it even if wealthy. but a lot of this is about people who come from lower-tier economic classes looking for a way to succeed that doesn't necessarily require academic or social skill.
