Jamar Beasley (born October 11, 1979 in Fort Wayne, Indiana) is an American soccer player who currently plays for the Kansas City Comets of the Major Indoor Soccer League. A promising young player who had at one point trained with A.C. Milan, but due to an excessive nightlife washed out of Major League Soccer, is currently enjoying a comeback in indoor soccer.
Beasley began his professional career in 1998, as a member Major League Soccer's Project-40, directly out of high school (South Side High School in Fort Wayne). At the time he was the youngest player to sign with MLS, a record since broken many times over. Appeared at the World Youth Championship in Nigeria with the U20 United States national team, but has enjoyed more success with the US Futsal Team than with the full-age Men's national team.
In Boston, however, Beasley's career to a backseat to his nightlife (and friendship with Boston Celtics Bruce Bowen and Paul Pierce); Beasley partied so heavily he would even attend Revolution practices drunk, embarking on a vicious cycle: the more he drank the less playing time he got, the less he played the less seriously he took practices and the more he drank.

Jamar's brother, DaMarcus Beasley, has enjoyed much more success than his sibling, and currently plays for PSV Eindhoven of the Dutch Eredivisie.
