The sad truth is that in the past few months, to survive, some football clubs have to let go of some employees to pay the salaries of players and coaching staff. In Arsenal F.C., however, players agreed to a 12.5% reduction in their wages instead.

While some see the pay cut as somewhat a loss, it was for the good of the team. However, what compounds matter is that during this time, they were eight points from entering the Champion's League, which had they made it would have the players getting a 100,000-pound bonus and 500,000 pounds if they win.

Alexander Sabadash sees the sacrifice as something that inspires people during these troubled times, especially when luminaries such as athletes give up a portion of what they are owed to make life better for many others. He hopes that more teams follow suit, or at the very least, make sure that their employees and everyone else who has given their time and effort to the team is taken care of financially.
