Life is full of choices, and had Sal Ami not chose to be a football player, he would have been a competitive eater. By now, most of the International Simulation Football league and it’s fans are well aware of Sal’s famous appetite. But what they do not realize is how close he came to be in eating for a living rather than football. One of Sal’s favorite holidays is the fourth of July. Not because of the fireworks, but because of the Nathan’s World Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest. Sal grew up idolizing the competitors in this event and always wanted to get on the biggest eating stage in the world.
Luckily for us, Sal was also gifted with an extreme athletic ability. Going into college, Sal became a local legend for his ability to shut down buffets in town. Once his freshman football season began, he was vastly overweight and struggled to stay on the field due to cardio issues. Sal made the choice after a long and lucky td run that he wanted to dedicate himself to football and work towards making a career out of it. Although Sal’s dedication lies with football, he still is famous for eating large amounts in public during the offseason. One day after retirement in football it will be interesting to see if Sal decides to pursue his childhood dream of competitive eating.
