I know bashing the NFL is in vogue. But really, for the ones who have football talent, isn’t taking a shot at a football career clearly a vastly better option than what is available in their inner city neighborhoods?

Not sure that’s a good comparison. It takes lots of time and effort to have an athletic career. Put the same time and effort in academics, play college ball (scholoarship?) and either live well in the home neighborhood, or move out. Plus so few actually have more than the shortest career
