Chiefs RB Larry Johnson Apologizes For His Comments

Chiefs running back Larry Johnson has, in a statement released by his agent, apologized for his words and actions of the past 48 hours. Johnson posted demeaning comments directed at Chiefs coach Todd Haley on his Twitter profile hours after Sunday's 37-7 loss to the Chargers. Johnson used a gay slur in one of his Twitter posts while responding to a follower, and he used another slur Monday after telling reporters he wasn't speaking publicly until Thursday. "First of all, I want to apologize to the fans of the Kansas City Chiefs and the rest of the NFL, Commissioner Goodell, the Chiefs organization, Coach Todd Haley, his staff, and my teammates for the words I used yesterday. I regret my actions. The words were used by me in frustration, and they were not appropriate. I did not intend to offend anyone, but that is no excuse for what I said. I also want to apologize to all the kids who view athletes as role models. I was not a good role model yesterday and hopefully I can become a better role model. We all make mistakes, and the challenge is to learn from them. I will do my best to learn from this one as I move toward becoming a better person, teammate, and member of the Kansas City Chiefs team and community."

hahahaha. i know exactly how this went down. Larry said his shit and once his agent heard he called LJ............

Agent to LJ: "What the **** are you doing? The Chiefs are going to cut you now!"

LJ: "Shit, those (gay slur) won't cut me. I've got a guaranteed contract."

Agent to LJ: "No it isn't dumbass. They could cut you today and save $2 million the rest of the season and be completely done with you!"

LJ: (silence on phone) ................................ "um, do you think anyone else would give me another fat contract if the Chiefs cut me?"

Agent to LJ: "I'll start writing the apology statement."

(Line goes dead)

He might have done it on purpose I think to get out of the losing season. He blantantly tweettacked the head coach and on top of that, the gay slurs on a social network. Ha! He knew what he was doing. Now he gets to chill wit da homies while his team suffers, just another thug with lots of money....for now.

Chiefs running back Larry Johnson issued an apology today but has been asked to stay away from team activities, and he is not at team headquarters as the Chiefs returned to practice during their off week.

It is not a suspension but is similar to the punishment Johnson faced after last year's bye week, when the Chiefs benched him after a series of arrests.
The Star says it's not a suspension.
