See if this sounds familiar. There is this sport, that has become associated primarily with the impoverished.
Kids do it constantly.
It is part of their everyday existence. They can do it almost anywhere anytime because it can be done by just one person without special conditions or fancy equipment. It has come to be viewed as the pathway out of poverty, an avenue to unimagined riches, and as a result it sometimes overwhelms basic educational values. Young athletes, eager to escape their environment, terminate their schooling earlier than they should in order to lunge for the loot. There is a cache of street agents and shoe companies lurking in the background, nudging them in that direction.
