We're waiting for answer. He did, after all, make controversial statements that might have offended someone. And we saw what they did to Rush Limbaugh.
Chiefs running back Larry Johnson, less than 24 hours after taking on coach Todd Haley on his Twitter profile, maintained an edge Monday when approached by reporters in the team's locker room. Hours after Kansas City's 37-7 loss to San Diego on Sunday, Johnson tweeted several controversial remarks directed toward Haley and the coach's lack of football experience. Haley, who is in his first season as a head coach at any level, never played football in high school, college or the pros. A message posted on Johnson's profile, whose username Sunday about 7 p.m. stated: "My father played for the coach from 'rememeber the titans'. Our coach played golf. My father played for redskins briefley. Our coach. Nuthn." Johnson continued the rant, and, in later responses directed toward Johnson's Twitter followers, contained inflammatory remarks about gays. In a reference to someones profile picture, Johnson called it a "fag pic" and called the person a "Christopher street boy," a reference to a predominantly gay section in New Yorks Greenwich Village. Johnson's Twitter profile was taken private and some posts were deleted.
On Monday in the Chiefs locker room, Johnson used another gay slur after saying he wouldn't speak to reporters. Johnson, sitting next to second-year running back Jamaal Charles, told reporters that "I'm not talking till Thursday," his usual day of speaking with reporters. Then Johnson turned away and whispered. "Get your faggot ass out of here," he said. Johnson's agent, Peter Schaffer, said Johnson's tweets were his own but said the running back intended to compliment his father -- Larry Johnson Sr. is the defensive line coach at Penn State -- and not disparage Haley.
Here's Larry. I'm sorry. But dudes that wear pink watches shouldn't be calling anyone gay.
