That sort of happened to me once. Although I wasn't browsing this website at the time.
You weren't searching for pictures of Bros were you or am I confusing you with someone else? :lol:

I don't see you asking for an example of an average player earning $250k. bartman would f**king splinter if he saw you carrying on like that.
But if you're trying to pick a hole in my argument you first need to get yourself up to speed on this: http://www.darwinsfinance.com/median-mean-definition/
Bear in mind I used the term 'average' in place of both 'mean' and 'median' (and 'mode' too considering the amount of players likely to be on minimum salary). This is because I wanted low achievers like yourself to be able to understand my point.
Silly me.
So if you have a salary cap of $4.5m shared among your top '25' with 3 or 4 marquee players and 4 or 5 rookies on minimum wage you can easily have an "average" player earning less then the average wage.
Eg:
Salary
$600,000
$550,000
$400,000
$300,000
$300,000
$280,000
$250,000
$220,000
$200,000
$180,000
$150,000
$120,000
$105,000
$100,000
$90,000
$80,000
$80,000
$80,000
$65,000
$65,000
$65,000
$55,000
$55,000
$55,000
$55,000
$4,500,000 (Total Cap)
Mean Average: $180,000
Median Average: $105,000
Mode Average: $55,000
The subjectivity comes in when you look at defining WHO is an average player.
Is Chase Blair or Tim Mannah or Ben Roberts an AVERAGE player?
Now you're just being median.
I think you both were.
I guess it makes you comediens?

Actually I have a folder full of them on my hard drive so the joke's on you.
when did you and Suity go to the fancy dress party?I believe one of these blokes had a gutful, Gary.

It comes down to this:
If we had 6 players on $250k in 2010 then they'd take the whole raise to $5m in 2013, if the statement that $250k = $400k is correct.
If we had anyone higher than $250k then you'd need to make a case for them not receiving any raise at all. This is the opposite of what would happen as they would receive larger raises than those below them. This would then mean we'd need less players on $250k so that they can each get the raise to $400k to make the statement true.
Then we have the minimum contract, a rise in which would eat into any of the above.
Mean/median/average etc is just playing semantics in order to avoid the point, which is that there is no way that $250k in 2010 = $400k in 2013. Any suggestion that this is the case is ludicrous.
Close to the truth.
