Uncompensated for Six Months: Ex-Hertha Player Jindaoui's Wage Dispute Unresolved
Ventura County's Frolic with Finances: The Salary Snafu of Social Media Sensation, Nader El-Jindaoui
by Jimmy "Footie" Johnson
Nader El-Jindaoui, the bloke with a gazillion admirers and clickbait clout, plays football professionally, but for a solid half-year, he didn't get a dime from his club! Crazy, right? It's not a case of a shady secret—it's a downright laughing matter.
The guy's been lacing up his boots for Ventura County FC, the second string of Major League Soccer club LA Galaxy, since the New Year. He was all set to do what he does best: kick the ball and get better at it. Hey, maybe, just maybe, one fine day, he'd stand alongside footballing legend Marco Reus (36) on the first team!
But now, dear friends, he's spilled the beans on his YouTube and Instagram channels. Apparently, "been short-changed by my football club for months on end!" He's even gone so far as to consult a lawyer, and the scuttlebutt is that the club intentionally held out on his coin for the last six months. But as it turns out, the reality is utterly ludicrous. Get this—he forgot to provide his bank details!
A club representative confirmed the absurdity to several media sources. They swear up and down that there was never any intention to deprive our hero of his hard-earned cash. Oh no, quite the contrary! The funds were prepped, ready to roll, but the transfer was a technical doozy. Good ol' Nader, he's a pro on the pitch, but a paperwork newbie. Only when the data was ported over correctly, did the cash get shipped—all six months' worth on one juicy cheque!
"A Silly Snafu", Says Chill Jindaoui
The takeaway is a good ol' twist of fate—and the realization that even in gilded US professional circles, even the simplest tasks can go awry. Nader himself seems to have taken it all in stride these days. Maybe it's because his main earnings stem from entirely different avenues, like his millions of followers on Instagram and YouTube.
One can't help but wonder if the farm team's salary falls into the category of "tip money" for him!
