Is football really professional?

I often moan to my better half about how awful Liverpool play, especially when I think about how much top footballers are paid per WEEK!!
Formula 1 Racing Drivers are paid Millions per year, but they risk their life every time they race.. OK maybe it is not as exciting as it was in the 70's, and then Ayrton Senna died in the 90's. They still risk their life and they still keep themselves in tip top physical fitness. Michael Schumacher is a shining example.
Doctors? Get paid a pittance in comparison. I wish there was a reality program where footballers followed a doctor for a month. The spoilt brats might learn something. Wayne Rooney might learn something, especially that how lucky he is that he is skilled at football. To be a doctor you need to be skilled and qualified.
Firemen?
OK. Doctors and Firemen may not be great footballers, but they have skills, and they are woefully paid.
Reality TV..Footballers work alongside Doctors,Firemen and see how lucky they are to do a job they love and be paid millions, whereas Doctors and Firemen do a job they love and get paid a pittance.
My brother was at Hillsborough as a fan, he is a Fireman by trade. I remember him saying that he had never seen anything like it in his years as a Fireman, and hopes he never will.
