Trip reduces Sal Alosi salary with fine and suspension

Sal Alosi was not thinking about his salary when he tripped an opposing player sprinting down the sideline Sunday. A Miami Dolphin on special teams was tripped on the sideline as he ran by Alosi, a NY Jets power and conditioning coach. The incident resulted in a fine and suspension that will take a significant chunk out of Sal Alosi’s salary. It seems like applying for a pay day loan will probably be the least of Sal Alosi’s problems. Article source – Sal Alosi salary takes big hit as punishment for tripping player by MoneyBlogNewz.

The Alosi trip

A tweet from Jay Glazer at Fox Sports said that for strength and conditioning with the New York Jets, Sal Alosi has an income of about $200,000. In the heat of the moment, Alosi probably wasn’t thinking about all the bills he pays with that income or the sweet interest rate on loans he qualifies for with that kind of income. The Dolphins are a Jets rival. He could not say no to himself when seeing the opportunity he had with a Dolphins person sprinting out of bounds down the sideline. The Sal Alosi trip will leave him with a severed cash flow. If it weren't for the truth that Alosi won't be getting paid for the remainder of the season, Alosi would have been able to get payday loans for the holidays.

How bad did Alosi’s trip hit his salary?

Sal Alosi’s salary of $200,000 a year is pretty good money for the average person. But within the National Football League, $200,000 a year is minimum wage. The public already had a bad public opinion, before Alosi made the bad decision, of the team. This means the Jets fined Alosi $25,000. For the remainder of the season, he has been suspended without pay. This might include bonuses like the playoff run. The income for Alosi can be calculated per game. It’s about $12,500. About $62,500 could possibly be lost by Alosi with only three games left in the season. That would be a thirty one % pay cut too. Alosi ought to be expecting a fine from the league in the near future although there is not one announced yet.

An apology came from Alosi after what he did. Many aren't buying it. They say the apology is not enough. Alosi might have to discover a new job pretty soon. Lots of NY football fans can be sad once the Jets lose the playoffs due to this. “Coach trips player” is a hard search term to live down, specifically when the Sal Alosi trip video is one of the hottest trends on the Internet. Alosi might never get the very same income again.
