Ex-NFL player Chidi Ahanotu ordered to give up championship ring

Chidi Ahanotu, a defensive end who spent 12 years in the NFL, was ordered to surrender a ring he received for winning the NFC Championship with the 2001 Rams after a legal action taken by his ex-wife.

This court system is a farce, Ahanotu said. This court wants a man to hand over his once-in-a-lifetime accomplishment to pay some damn attorneys fees? I could see if it was going to pay something for my children or my ex-wife.

Ahanotu tried to claim the ring was no longer his because he had given it to his brother, but the judge didnt buy it. Ahanotu said in September that he couldnt afford the $130,000 in legal fees that he owes over a custody battle with his ex-wife.

I dont have $130,000, Ahanotu said. Its been a long time since I played in the NFL.

By a long time, Ahanotu means six years. Ahanotu is one of far too many athletes who make millions in their 20s and 30s and go broke by age 40. Now hell either give up the ring or go to jail for contempt of court.

Might as well take jail.
After all, even if they sell the ring, it won't pay for the fees. Which means he will end up screwed anyway.

I'd take the jail time, easy. If it's less than 6 months, no question.

As it is, he'd probably be lucky if he got 15 grand for the ring. So he would still owe 115 grand.
Makes you wonder how someone can blow all the money he DID make in that short of time.
