Then there is the thing where footbal players play far fewer games in the season and there are 53 players on the roster, as opposed to BBall with, what around 10? Finally, BBall players get to show more individual skill. Outside of a QB, an NFL player is in on the play (as far as the focus goes) for a few minutes of every game.
In my mind none of these are entitled to earn more than doctors, but until doctors get crazy crowds and TV contracts, that is the way it will be.
