No there shouldn't. The EPL players have committed no crime. If they accept a pay cut the difference will only go into the pockets of the fat cat owners.There should be a massive backlash against the overpaid players at the top of the game. They have the ability to do something about it by volunteering a pay cut..The clubs have little to do about it unless the players agree...
But, what the players could do through the PFA is to offer say 25% of their salary to a bona fide charity connected with the Corona virus. This will need careful organisation and effort, though.
PS. A lot of PL players are from foreign lands and might feel more inclined to donate to charities in their own countries
Yes, they earn their money here, but the reason that PL players get paid so much is because of the television rights which are sold around the world. The Premier League is in fact an international league.
