I hate how the opportunities that don’t matter much in life are the most selective

Like people say high school sports don’t matter much when they are so selective. And before people scream about how school sports serve as a filter for professional sports, most sports like volleyball or lacrosse have no path for professional athletes (and the few that exists pays poorly). I don’t get why volleyball teams or lacrosse teams have to brag about only taking 5% of kids in tryouts when those sports don’t matter in the long run. It is frustrating
