Were they born that way?
Most professional athletes in Basketball/football were born with athletic/physical privilege. Ability to run, jump, etc. Obviously most have worked on it their whole lives, but there are plenty of people that would never have those abilities no matter how hard they work.
Plus, due to their amazing physical gifts many of them have had opportunities from a young age that their neighborhood peers didn't have.

And often were given more privileges that most students didn't have in school. Undeserved passing grades, misconduct overlooked or given minor punishments, money under the table, special study halls and tutoring.
Yet they still complain about "mistreatment". No wonder the public is largely growing disenchanted with sports.
