Unfortunately, it's not a matter of "should." Professional sports teams make a LOT of money, so they can afford to pay whatever price is necessary to have the best team available.
If medical personnel were paid the same amounts as athletes, only a very few people would be able to afford medical care.

The two things, military pay and NFL pay are two different topics and not related. Remember that the military gets paid from your pocket so if you want them to make more, be prepared to pay more taxes.

I believe steroids have been banned from all sports.

Steriods give a person more muscle mass, greater stamina and strength, which is why athletes take them. But they are illegal for athletes, and if caught taking them, can result in the loss of a career in sports.
