So you think that just because NFL players are in better physical shape they should get paid more??? You clearly don't know to much about sport my dear friend, how much you get paid has something to do with how much sponsors, fans, tv-airtime etc the game gets. It has nothing to do with how good you are, when it gets down to that why are fitness athletes not the best paid sportsmen??? Do you know how much a T.Woods wins with a tournament, that stands in no comparison with the physical effort. It has no relation with each other.
It's very naive IMO to say "It's not fair they work harder and get paid less" ....that's life. Go work in a factory and find out.
And it's also naive to think that NFL-players don't use steroids, a friend of mine has played college football for one year in the US and he was amazed at the amounts of supplements, steroids and growth hormons the players were prescribed by coaches and medical staff. It's a well known fact that steroid use is widely spread through all of the sportworld. And one thing about steroids is it doesn't make you a better athlete when it comes down to skills. It can give you more endurance, more muscles, less fat etc. , but it can't give you more skills.
