100% yes. Timmy probably has a better chance of winning the lottery.
With the number of open spots, the kind of talent it takes to make it pro sports, and the money involved, if Timmy was a prospect it would show on the field by the time he's in his early teens. If it hasn't happened by then, coach mom and dad need to grow up and just let it go. Teach the kid how to accept it and be happy instead of blaming his failures on someone else.
So much anger over something that was never going to happen in the first place.
That's actually true, at least for the NFL, if my memory is correct. I'm pretty sure I read that the odds of winning the lottery are actually BETTER than the odds of playing in the NFL. NHL has smaller teams, and fewer teams, so it stands to reason that it's even worse.
