I am sure that the vast majority of them are just ordinary decent people who are on very high wages but, as you say, they have moral obligations at this time.
Given their watertight contracts it would be almost impossible to enforce a pay cut on them and so it would have to be done voluntarily.
I haven't heard of any Prem player doing it yet.
But there are plenty of ordinary members of staff who are losing out.
