I don't watch sports to see average players compete.  Welllll...my followed club's been having a bit of a slump recently. But they're still playing at the national level.  Well above average for the sport as a whole. Stupidly above average for the general population. Just below average in the league. Which where the players consist of less than 0.004% of the population of the country. But for their league, they're still a little below average. But i'll go see them anyway, i'll still cheer them on, even though they're doing 'less than average' (Edit: I feel the need to re-iterate that they're still doing better than 99% of the population)
