Believe it or not, Ive overheard conversations from my Uber passengers (who are typically privileged) saying that they wish they didnt recruit these players from poor families in the hood. They had their reasons but I wont state what they said because its offensive.

The question is, how would it turn out if the NFL decided to take players from rich (or at least upper middle class) backgrounds? Are any of the NFL players currently in the league even from rich families?

They'd be nuking their talent pool for one. A lot of great athletes come from less affluent backgrounds because if you have natural athletic ability, honing that is a way to open up a lot of new doors that would otherwise not be available to you.

If you grow up in an affluent environment, you might be a gifted athlete but because you have all sorts of options available to you, you never really need to work on it, go to college on your parents dime and then become a lawyer.

I dunno last time this happened we only had peyton & eli manning combine for 4 SB wins so I guess the talent would be non existent
