Larry Alphonso Johnson Jr

​The Kansas City Chiefs were so mad at Larry Johnson for calling you guys "fags" and "Christopher Street boys" and us "faggots" that they sent him home -- and suspended him for one game.

Ooh, that'll show him.

With such a harsh punishment, I'm surprised the Chiefs didn't use King Pink's full name, "Larry Alphonso Johnson Jr," in the news release.

Kansas City Chiefs have suspended RB Larry Johnson for Conduct Detrimental to the Club effective immediately. Johnson will not be permitted to participate in any team activities or be on team premises until Monday, November 9th. The Chiefs will have no further comment on Johnson's status at this time.

Johnson isn't about to sit at home and think hard about his punishment. LJ's appealing.

Per PFT, this statement from Johnson's agent, Peter Schaffer (i.e., the hardest working agent in pro sports):

"It is our belief that the action did not warrant the discipline unilaterally imposed by the Chiefs. We'll be asking for an expeditied hearing, and hopefully we can work out a positive, mutual resolution with the Chiefs. If not, we'll defer to the arbitrator's decision. Larry's desire is to get back to his teammates as soon as he can."

The separation anxiety must be killing him.
