Raiders rookie Josh Jacobs buys his father a new house | Exclusive ESPN Interview | SportsCenter

Josh Jacobs is the type of son any father could be proud of, Salute! 👏🏾👏🏾

The craziest part about that is both should be mandatory or understood so to speak.

TeddyBearKnows That makes absolutely no sense. For every single mother there is a single father. In the black community usually multiple single fathers to one woman. Logic is the next to go after biology.

[@ChiseledAdonis]

This is beautiful... His mother was toxic & misused the child support money Marty gave her. Josh soldiered through & made quite the name for himself. Nothing like a father son connection; Smile big Marty, your son is the OROY & more importantly an even better man!

[@timhoward5]

That's typical of all mothers in the western country, while manipulating the kids against the father spreading lies about him. That's why they should ban the child support system or adjust and make sure both parents gets 50/50 custody. Kids are entitled to see both biological father and mother.

[@McLovinMcFlurry]

We need more of these stories, less Antonio brown type stories of him roasting his baby momma and acting like he don’t even like his kids. Sick of black dads complaining about racism and not doing their very best taking care of their kids. I’m lucky I got a black dad who took care of me and put me above himself. It shouldn’t be as rare as it is

[@capricornmagic63]

@@McLovinMcFlurry When you say you're ' lucky you have a black dad' it makes it sound as if you're white who was raised by a black male. Is that the case? If not why not just say you're glad you had a father who cared about you? The fact that he helped your mom take care of you means more and not the fact that he is black. However he shouldn't be praised because isn't that what parents are supposed to do?

[@Boondoxx]

His dad is Black Filipino I’m pretty sure but still a great story!

As a Bama fan Josh has always held a special place in my heart. The same thing goes for his father who kept his family together regardless of falling on hard times. I am so glad that Coach Saban gave him an opportunity to play at Alabama because he took advantage of the opportunity and excelled as a RB. I could not be more happy for him and his family.
