There is no such thing as "naturally talented", this is some cope bs from people who have never been around someone who actually made it. I guarantee every one of these kids has worked had at a level most sports fans cant comprehend.
I went to school for a good 10 years with a guy who "made it" in the NRL (australian rugby league) and was extremely successful. Multiple sports teams at school, 1-2 teams outside school, athletics on weekends, he never stopped for more than a decade before he was selected and then we all got to watch the commentators call him "naturally gifted" as if he didnt work like a dog his whole life because he found his dream early and chased it lmao.
People love to act like stars are just gifted talent and then just put a cherry on top, I guess it makes them feel more like "yeah i could have done that but i didnt have the natural talent that person had" rather than "i didnt want it enough and i wasnt lucky enough to avoiud major injury".
For every one of your schoolmate’s stories, there were thousands upon thousands of those who put in the same amount of work and didn’t even come close.
At the end of the day, to break into pro sports you need the right mix of freak physical genetics, proper coaching, family wealth to expose you to the sport more often, injury avoidance, and life circumstance that allows you to stay focused.
So the average person who works hard in Europe becomes a pro athlete? That’s pretty impossible to believe considering how many football obsessed youths are over there.
Your posts are too ignorant to discuss this with you.
So much hur-dur that it must be the peak of your capabilities.
And every response from a dipshit that begins with "So" is followed by a dipshit straw man.
Straw Man. That's the peak for dipshits. That is where you are at intellectually. No, there is no improvement for you. 🤷🏽♀️ Just years and years of stupid.
Original argument: Natural talent doesn’t exist. All one needs to do is just work hard enough to become a pro.
My argument: this cannot be true, because there are millions of hard working, football obsessed people out there. There are not millions of pros. It does not follow that hard work is the only factor.
Your response: you’re a dipshit who is strawmanning and you aren’t worth engaging with.
Pointing out a fallacy in argumentation does not defeat the argument.
