Anyone who exercises at sea level who has ever taken a random trip up to altitude and exercised will tell you it's not a myth. In fact, I'm surprised they don't make more out of it. What it really does to a football player is negatively impact how fast you regain your wind between plays. I used to think it was a myth until I went to visit some friends in Santa Fe, NM for a week, elevation appx. 7000 feet. The first day we played a halfcourt game of 3 on 3 ball and after 5 minutes I was sucking wind. I lifted weights several times during that week and had to double my recovery between sets. The second time I had to catch a connecting flight in the Denver airport and had to run through the airport to catch my flight. I got on the plane and spent the next 2 hours unable to breathe and thought they were gonna have to cart me out in a bodybag. It was at that moment that I vowed never to be pissed off or surprised when any football team loses in Denver.
