HUGE difference between MEDIAN and average. Take 5 guys, 4 earn 1 million 1 guy earns 26 million. So AVERAGE salary is $6 million, but let's face it 80% of those 5 guys don't earn near $6 million

The average NBA player enjoys a career that spans 5 years. The average player will earn nearly $4 million dollars per year, providing average career earnings of $20 million.

5 years is barely out of his rookie contract. No rookies make $4 mil a year anymore in the NBA. So please your stats are way off again.

The average NFL player plays only 3 years. He stands to make $770,000 a year, bringing the average career earnings of an NFL player to $2,310,000 ? a mere 12% of the MLB player and 11% of an NBA player.

Bullshit. NFL players already get 60% of all revenue. Gee how much more do you want to give them? Are the owners entitled to any money?
