The game wasnt worth two more yrs. he will be taken care of when he’s free

Overall,I would have done my time and got out.
Now,this is just another bad example to a young black male.
Myself,I don’t even watch sports no more. A % of these black sports stars
(males) are just dumb. This is why the white man makes a fool out of them
or some slick hot female and then they wonder why be broke in the end.
It’s all the white man’s dead slave owner’s money in the first place.

That’s bs. They could of delayed his sentence, so he can see his son play one more time before doing that bid. By the time he gets outta prison his son will probably be in the NFL.

What an idiot. I was gonna have pity on the dude till I seen that he was a former NFL player which means he was living a good life and he turned to crime.

thats those corrupted swines for you.

Totally in agreement w/you Sub_Negro! He did this to himself and to his family. No more “pity” cards or parties. They’ve had MORE than enough of his outlandish and ridiculous b.s! That’s why his family wasn’t there at his sentencing and could care LESS about what happens to him….

It’s time for the NEXT generation to move on…

This was one of my favorite WR’s back in the day

I am a BIG SPORTS FAN
all 4 of em

he helped me win a lot of Tecmo bowl games

Mark Com’on Man !

From all them charges, he sounds like a marked man.

YOU PEOPLE NEVER HEARD OF UP TODAY… AND DOWN THE NEXT DAY… MONEY COME AND GO… IT’S THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL ANYWAY… DON’T YOU GET IT PEOPLE.. WE ARE QUICKLY BECOMING A THING OF THE PAST… I MEAN EXTINCT…
HEAVEN HELP US… GOD IS… PEACE BE STILL…

@ Sub-Negro most former pro athletes are broke within 4 years after playing in the NFL. Theres a chance his life wasnt that good

Can we file this away as “Ignorant negro news”? I would have been where I was supposed to, damn the football game, he son would have surely understood!!! I do not feel one bit sorry for this person!!!!

Sub-negro you hit it on the head! Thank God for intelligent black men like you. Some people just don’t get it! Former NFL player doing petty crimes. Totally embarrasing!

Maybe it was worth it to Mark Sr to see his son play in that game. We ALL would do just about anything to see a rare event like this if it were our children..don’t front, I would, Considering how racist the U of Alabama was to our people including denying Afr. Americans entry into the school, at one time and the fact that his son the first African American and athlete at that school period to win the Heisman Trophy , I am not saying it was a wise decision , but I understand, in-spite of the father who by the way has a Super Bowl ring,may have done. I am sure that that it was an emotional decision to do what he did, lets not be so quick to judge unless we are in that position with our kids.I am sure that he knew risk and still feels that it was worth it to this father and son, Mark Jr. expressed as much during his acceptance at the award show and after Alabama beat Texasfor National Title.

When you commit crime sand go to jail – you can’t go to games or the movies. It’s on him and the judge did not have to apologize for anything! Hell, I don’t even think that he should have been allowed to go to his son’s funeral let alone a game! When you do the time, you cannot get out to go to shows!

To be honest, I get where Mark Ingram, Sr. is coming from. That is father and son. As much as black men get dissed about not being part of their child’s life then when a man steps up to show support for his child no matter what, people still want to talk greasy. That’s honor and loyalty. This reminds me of what David Banner was saying on “Greatest Story Ever Told.” Too many people are straight cowards. They’re too scared to stand up for their own damn family even. It’s sick. How you going to call a man ignorant for riding for his son? That’s nonsense. So I don’t blame him for that. He’s serving more time for his offspring. That’s honor.

in any other case i would vehemently disagree with u because the saying “just getta a job” is so out of touch with the reality of society today…but in this case this nigga was a Super Bowl winning wide receiver in the NFL and had a long career, he had to have plenty opportunities to get a great job, or at least a good enough job. Anyway, i didn’t even know that was his son, its unfortunate. Some guys just would rather be criminals, like Maurice Clarett.

BS, I would have done the same thing his dad did, because you are going to do time regardless, he could have never seen his son play anymore, so all of you stupid ass people need to shut your mouth up and all of you uncle Tom black brother talking all the trash that the white man taught you is still stupid as hell, that is the way he want you to think, if it had been a white player, I bet they would let his dad see the game, so it isn’t a big deal, when are we black folk going to stop talking bad about our brothers and sisters and childrens and doing what they want us to do, it is to divide us apart against each other, that is the Willy Lynch theory that have been working for over 300 years and we are still fools.
So, don’t talk bad about the guy making a bad call, hell they do the samething and you don’t say a damn thing. I see the black race is going backward not forward, DR. MLKing gave up his life for us and he knew that he was going to get killed because he had to much power and they couldn’t control him, so they got rid of him and we didn’t learn a damn thing, if only we would think before we act, you people need to grow up and look at our surrounding and see what is going on.
Next they will becomming up with a law to get our black ass out of US if you don’t watch it, look how the poor Mexican are being treated, they are not getting Irish, Korean, Chinaman, cubans and other races out of this country, hell they tryed to keep the young kid from Cuba overhere, but if you are a person of color and not white you are going o be treated unfairly, so quit being a fool, get yourself educated and stop being a yes man or woman, so more power to his dad, hope his dad will do his time and get out, because prison isn’t nothing but another slave plantation, they got more minority locked up and the most time and some of who is not guilty and you helped put them there, so think before you react.
