Larry Johnson Gay Slur on Twitter, in Locker Room Results in Ban From Team

by at .

The NFL's Kansas City Chiefs have barred star running back Larry Johnson from all team activities as the club and league look into comments he made Monday.

In telling reporters to get away from him, Johnson used a slur that referred to gays. He used the same slur on Twitter in an exchange with one of his followers.

A day later, he used a gay slur again as he brushed off reporters and told them he had no comment, according to the Kansas City Star, which recorded this.

He has also posted demeaning remarks about Coach Todd Haley, questioning his authority. Yeesh. Now that's a lot worse than any Bob Griese taco comment.

Larry Johnson eludes a tackler. And basic social decency.

In a statement released through his agent, Johnson apologized for his remarks, though in the list of people to whom he apologized, he did not mention gays.

Last season, Herman Edwards, who was the Chiefs’ coach, benched Larry Johnson for three games for a then-unspecified violation of the team's rules.

Commissioner Roger Goodell suspended him for a fourth game for violating the NFL player-conduct policy in connection with incidents involving women in bars.

Johnson, who has 358 yards on 132 rushes and no touchdowns in 2009, was sentenced to two years’ probation after pleading guilty todisturbing the peace.

We'll see if he takes the field anytime soon this year.

    Ok, now I don't know what Larry said but I would imagine it could have been either "punk ass" "faggot ass" "gay ass" something like that, gays call each other that all the time. I really don't see why someone who is straight would get offended by those terms, because they call each other that all the time aswell. Punk asses! And if Larry is gay, it's nobody's business and futhemore, whatever he said would be null and void if he is gay. Bitches...

    So tired of crap about this Larry Johnson guy. The world does indeed have public assholes could be a title over "Hellion"'s comment above. WTF? SO I GUESS TWITTERING GIVES EVERYONE THE RIGHT TO SLANDER ANYONE AND PROPOGATE HATE FEELINGS BECAUSE THIS IS AMERICA? I'll stop there and just ask that entity to please elaborate/explain or better yet perhaps do NOT if the same prattle is going to emerge from their very narrow thinking. OMG that's the scariest comment I've ever seen, let alone what falls from Johnson's mouth when it opens. Just try growing up with Matthew Shepard's relatives and friends, then let's have a calm debate the subject of "slurs" Thanks.
