New York Jets Revoke Initial Decision, Allow Fan Back in $100k Field-Goal Contest following Public Outcry
The New York Jets have allowed a fan, Ashley Castanio-Gervasi, to participate in a $100,000 halftime field-goal contest after initially barring her due to her coaching status. Castanio-Gervasi, a high-school soccer coach and lifelong Jets supporter, earned her spot in the contest by making a successful 20-yard field goal at a Jets-sponsored tailgate event. The team’s initial disqualification was due to insurance rules prohibiting current or recent coaches from participating. Castanio-Gervasi, who planned to use any winnings to buy a home and support cancer-related charities, will now compete alongside three other finalists during Sunday’s game. The reversal has brought positive PR for the Jets, with Castanio-Gervasi’s kick carrying special meaning in memory of her late father.
