Instead of attending elaborate dinners and ceremonies commemorating his college pick, 18-year-old Tony Farmer will be spending three years in prison. The 6-foot-7 athlete is one of Ohio’s top picks in the sport of basketball. He pleaded guilty to kidnapping, felonious assault, and other crimes.
Farmer was involved in an altercation last April with his ex-girlfriend, Andrea Lane. Video footage from Lane’s apartment complex showed the dispute. It even captured Farmer dragging Lane by her hair at one point.

This is really destructive….. Sometimes some people you align yourself to can bring out the worse in you rather than motivate you to be the best that you can be. I wonder if this girl is a nice girl, or one of those Shaquahna characters. This is not the excuse the cad either, because he must learn to control himself, and to walk away from trouble….

May he learn what a man is! As a many of our young and physically gifted African American athletes enter the public eye they tend to exhibit the inability to control their s****l desires, as well as emotional immaturity. A few prominent athletes had identical issues. I venture to say that the parents/guardians are so caught up in the possibilities of those boys obtaining scholarships or professional contracts they fail to educate them about life and what NO means.

It will never be known if this kid could have made a career out of Basketball. The fact of the matter is, 6’7″ high school basketball players are a dime a dozen. Being 6’7″ and having the strenght, balance, vision, focus and character is rare. Apparently this kid is lacking in focus and character. His actions are his prerogatives, so let the next physicall gifted high school athelete know that there are consequences, for their actions. Think about it?

Looks like with that behavior he’s destined for greatness as a pro athlete. How many of them end up doing it later after they get their millions? Good riddance.

Yup! Now he’ll see what it feels like to be assaulted. Like my momma always say, “The hardest lesson learned is the BEST lesson learned.”
